（2024高二上·湛江期中）In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission: It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connect ion with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts (棚屋) or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
4．What does the author consider Sarek National Park to be

B．It is a place for the unprepared.

D．Adventurers should be aware of the challenging weather.
三、C
（2024高二上·湛江期中）Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare, new research suggests. Traditionally, zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping.
The new review, by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester, says zoos have made great improvements in recent years, but closer observation of animal behaviour - a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment, developed in farming - could show even more about their state of mind.
An animal's positioning of its body, facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, interested, nervous, relaxed, etc.
"Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals, and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language," said Dr. Paul Rose, of the University of Exeter.
"What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this, carried out over time.
"Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets, feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept."
Dr. Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression.
"We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat, which could show what they're feeling." he said. "When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies."
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. "Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals," Dr. Rose said.
8．How to improve zoos animal's welfare
A．More focus on animals'eating and sleep.
B．Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours.
C．More attention to zoo animals'state of mind.
D．Adoption of more straightforward measure.
9．What is the function of lions as an example
A．To show body language vary from animal to animal.
B．To show the significance of animal body language.
C．To show lions are rich in their facial expressions.
D．To show lions are treated well in zoos.
10．What dose Dr Rose research of swans suggests
A．They usually explore their habitat.
B．They always draw their feather close to their body.
C．They move little in fearful situations.
D．They spend little time in their habitat.
11．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Animal welfare in zoos is decreasing.
B．Qualitative Behavioural Assessment is meaningful.
C．Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals.
D．Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language.
四、D
（2024高二上·湛江期中）Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
12．What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A．They're unfair. B．They're conservative.
C．They're objective. D．They're strict.
13．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A．They think themselves smart.
B．They look up to great thinkers.
C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
14．Why are more geniuses known to the public
A．Improved global communication.
B．Less discrimination against women.
C．Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D．Changes in people's social positions.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius Takes Many Forms
C．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius and Luck

Sally's birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents' struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during the break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. "Are you going to have a birthday party this year " Jane asked, sensing Sally's sadness. "No," Sally sighed and replied sadly, "there's just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties."
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal (掩饰) her extreme disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was scared by Jane's strange actions and turned towards Sarah. "What did she say " Sally asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
"What is happening " Sally wondered anxiously. "Are they keeping something from me " As Sally's birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with their other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. "Jane has never kept secrets from me before," Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her And what were they hiding

High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness."这不是一个没有准备的地方。这是一个充满冒险精神的地方，他们正在寻找孤独、野性和与自然的联系，而这些天在我们的星球上很难找到。它位于瑞典北部与挪威接壤的高处，被称为最后的欧洲荒野。可知，萨勒克国家公园冒险爱好者的乐园，对前往的游客有比较高的要求，所以去之前必须提前做好充分的准备，而且它被称为欧洲最后的荒野。可推知，作者认为该国家公园具有吸引力并且要求很高。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言是了解和改善其福利状况的关键。传统上，动物园主要关注动物是否进食和睡眠等简单指标，而新研究提出采用定性行为评估（Qualitative Behavioural Assessment）这一在农业领域发展起来的方法，通过长期、科学地观察动物的身体姿势、面部动作和活动水平等，更深入地了解其心理状态。例如，狮子的丰富面部表情可为判断其情绪提供线索，进而通过调整饮食、喂食时间等改善动物福利。研究还以天鹅为例，指出探索行为减少、羽毛紧贴身体等表现可能反映其不安情绪。该方法为动物园提供了新的动物福利评估与改进途径。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare, new research suggests. "新的研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言可能是了解和改善它们福利的关键。可知，提高动物园动物的福利的方法是仔细观察动物的行为和肢体语言。故选B。
9．推理判断题。根据第六段中的"Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. "某些行为会表现出动物的某些情绪，我们应该为生活在动物园的不同动物建立这方面的知识。例如，狮子有很多面部表情，对这些表情的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心态。可知，将狮子作为例子，是为了展示对动物肢体语言的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心态，即展示动物肢体语言的意义。故选B。
10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies. "当它们不确定时，它们似乎行动更少，更小心，把羽毛靠近身体。可知，天鹅会在感觉不确定时行动更少更小心，即天鹅会在害怕的情况下很少行动。故选C。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段"The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. ‘Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals,' Dr. Rose said. "这项研究为定性行为评估和动物园可以使用的实践提供了研究机会。罗斯博士说："在过去的10年或20年里，动物园的动物福利得到了极大的改善，这种方法为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法。"可知，定性行为评估有助于改善动物园动物福利，为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法，即定性行为评估是有意义的。故选B。

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普类；议论文；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了"天才"的定义与本质，指出长久以来被赞誉为天才的多为欧洲血统的白人男性，而这源于历史由胜利者书写，他们设定了进入"天才俱乐部"的标准，导致女性及其他不同背景者的贡献被忽视。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
12．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others."据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。可知，作者认为那些"胜利者"对进"天才俱乐部"设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really, really smart.‘"更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是"非常非常聪明"的孩子参加的活动。可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做"聪明孩子"做的事情。故选D。
14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear."在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
15．标题归纳题。根据第一段中的"Who is a genius "谁是天才；以及最后一段中的"And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.'"我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有"智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。可推知"天才有多种形式"适合作本文标题。故选B。

47．【答案】On the day of Sally's birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. "Surprise!", her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher's desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally's eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. "We knew you couldn't have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you," Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally's mind as she realized that her friends hadn't been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.

（2024高二上·湛江期中）In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will be a mission: It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connect ion with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of all, there are no huts (棚屋) or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well.
4．What does the author consider Sarek National Park to be
A．It is a place hard to find.
B．It is a place for the unprepared.
C．It is the last wilderness on our planet.
D．It is a place which is attractive and demanding.
5．Which words has the similar meaning to the underlined word "uncharted"
A．Not adventurous. B．Not well- received.
C．Not explored. D．Not dangerous.
6．What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A．The author will make a map of Sarek.
B．The author will hike 4-5 days in the Sarek.
C．The author will reach the depths of Sarek.
D．The author will stay in the park for 8-10 days.
7．What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A．Sarek National park is full of rainfall and strong wind.
B．Finding good campsites need a lot of time.
C．Adventurers need to bring professional hiking gear.
D．Adventurers should be aware of the challenging weather.
【答案】4．D

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；段落大意；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者即将开启一场期待已久的冒险之旅——前往瑞典与挪威接壤处、被称为"欧洲最后一片荒野"的萨勒克国家公园徒步旅行。作者几个月前就开始为这次未知的、真正远离常规路线的徒步做准备，文中还提及了在萨勒克国家公园徒步需要牢记的一些要点，如没有棚屋等住宿设施、需自行携带8 - 10天的物资、要依靠GPS和地图规划路线、当地天气具有挑战性以及寻找合适的露营地可能较花费时间等，展现了这次冒险之旅的特点和挑战。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking for solitude (独处), wildness and a connect ion with nature that is hard to find on our planet these days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European Wilderness."这不是一个没有准备的地方。这是一个充满冒险精神的地方，他们正在寻找孤独、野性和与自然的联系，而这些天在我们的星球上很难找到。它位于瑞典北部与挪威接壤的高处，被称为最后的欧洲荒野。可知，萨勒克国家公园冒险爱好者的乐园，对前往的游客有比较高的要求，所以去之前必须提前做好充分的准备，而且它被称为欧洲最后的荒野。可推知，作者认为该国家公园具有吸引力并且要求很高。故选D。
5．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的"The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible"这次旅行的准备工作几个月前就开始了。我尽力以最好的方式做好准备；以及"I will not go into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about."在我回来真正知道我在说什么之前，我不会详细说明。可知，作者还没有去过萨勒克国家公园，正因为这里是他还没有探索过的地域，因此他临行前做好了充分的准备。可推知划线词uncharted与Not explored"尚未探索"意思接近。故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的"If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5 days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for 8-10 days. "如果你在萨雷克的中心，你将距离下一个山间小屋至少4-5天的徒步旅行。所以这意味着我将不得不在8-10天内携带我需要的一切。可知，作者此次做足了准备，打算深入探索萨勒克国家公园。故选C。
7．段落大意题。根据第四段中的"In addition, the weather can be very challenging.(此外，天气可能非常具有挑战性)"以及" It is important to bring professional hiking gear (装备). Finding and choosing a good campsite might take some time as well."带上专业的登山装备很重要。寻找和选择一个好的露营地可能也需要一些时间、可知，作者在说冒险家应该注意恶劣的天气。故选D。
三、C
（2024高二上·湛江期中）Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare, new research suggests. Traditionally, zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping.
The new review, by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester, says zoos have made great improvements in recent years, but closer observation of animal behaviour - a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment, developed in farming - could show even more about their state of mind.
An animal's positioning of its body, facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, interested, nervous, relaxed, etc.
"Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals, and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language," said Dr. Paul Rose, of the University of Exeter.
"What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this, carried out over time.
"Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets, feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept."
Dr. Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression.
"We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat, which could show what they're feeling." he said. "When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies."
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. "Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals," Dr. Rose said.
8．How to improve zoos animal's welfare
A．More focus on animals'eating and sleep.
B．Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours.
C．More attention to zoo animals'state of mind.

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普类；应用文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言是了解和改善其福利状况的关键。传统上，动物园主要关注动物是否进食和睡眠等简单指标，而新研究提出采用定性行为评估（Qualitative Behavioural Assessment）这一在农业领域发展起来的方法，通过长期、科学地观察动物的身体姿势、面部动作和活动水平等，更深入地了解其心理状态。例如，狮子的丰富面部表情可为判断其情绪提供线索，进而通过调整饮食、喂食时间等改善动物福利。研究还以天鹅为例，指出探索行为减少、羽毛紧贴身体等表现可能反映其不安情绪。该方法为动物园提供了新的动物福利评估与改进途径。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare, new research suggests. "新的研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言可能是了解和改善它们福利的关键。可知，提高动物园动物的福利的方法是仔细观察动物的行为和肢体语言。故选B。
9．推理判断题。根据第六段中的"Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. "某些行为会表现出动物的某些情绪，我们应该为生活在动物园的不同动物建立这方面的知识。例如，狮子有很多面部表情，对这些表情的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心态。可知，将狮子作为例子，是为了展示对动物肢体语言的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心态，即展示动物肢体语言的意义。故选B。
10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies. "当它们不确定时，它们似乎行动更少，更小心，把羽毛靠近身体。可知，天鹅会在感觉不确定时行动更少更小心，即天鹅会在害怕的情况下很少行动。故选C。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段"The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. ‘Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals,' Dr. Rose said. "这项研究为定性行为评估和动物园可以使用的实践提供了研究机会。罗斯博士说："在过去的10年或20年里，动物园的动物福利得到了极大的改善，这种方法为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法。"可知，定性行为评估有助于改善动物园动物福利，为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法，即定性行为评估是有意义的。故选B。

（2024高二上·湛江期中）Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."
12．What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club
A．They're unfair. B．They're conservative.
C．They're objective. D．They're strict.
13．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A．They think themselves smart.
B．They look up to great thinkers.
C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
14．Why are more geniuses known to the public
A．Improved global communication.
B．Less discrimination against women.
C．Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D．Changes in people's social positions.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius Takes Many Forms
C．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius and Luck
【答案】12．A
13．D
14．A
15．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普类；议论文；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了"天才"的定义与本质，指出长久以来被赞誉为天才的多为欧洲血统的白人男性，而这源于历史由胜利者书写，他们设定了进入"天才俱乐部"的标准，导致女性及其他不同背景者的贡献被忽视。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
12．推理判断题。根据第三段中的"It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others."据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。可知，作者认为那些"胜利者"对进"天才俱乐部"设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really, really smart.‘"更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是"非常非常聪明"的孩子参加的活动。可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做"聪明孩子"做的事情。故选D。
14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear."在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
15．标题归纳题。根据第一段中的"Who is a genius "谁是天才；以及最后一段中的"And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.'"我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有"智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。可推知"天才有多种形式"适合作本文标题。故选B。

What inspires me most is his perseverance. Dr. Yuan initially found it hard to study the new rice under the tough condition in 1950s, but he still devoted his youth to it. And even at the age of 90, he strove to extend his research to sea rice. Such spirit constantly stimulates me to keep moving, regardless of how many exams I failed.
Thanks for your attention!

Sally's birthday was approaching, and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents' struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during the break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. "Are you going to have a birthday party this year " Jane asked, sensing Sally's sadness. "No," Sally sighed and replied sadly, "there's just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties."
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal (掩饰) her extreme disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was scared by Jane's strange actions and turned towards Sarah. "What did she say " Sally asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
"What is happening " Sally wondered anxiously. "Are they keeping something from me " As Sally's birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with their other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. "Jane has never kept secrets from me before," Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her And what were they hiding

【答案】On the day of Sally's birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. "Surprise!", her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher's desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally's eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. "We knew you couldn't have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you," Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally's mind as she realized that her friends hadn't been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.
