A
After learning about these famous women, you’ll know you can do a lot for society no matter what. You don’t need to be in a specific field, time or environment to make a difference to the world in your lifetime.
Amelia Earhart (1897－1937)
Amelia Earhart was the first woman who ever flew alone across the Atlantic in 1932. She became the first woman pilot in 1935 after flying from Hawaii to California. She began her lifelong dream of flying across the world in 1937. However, her flight went missing on that trip and she was never seen again.
Helena Rubinstein (1870－1965)
Helena Rubinstein moved to Australia in 1902 without the ability to speak English. Later, she founded one of the world’s first cosmetic (化妆品) companies after mixing lanolin, which is an oil that comes from sheep’s wool, with flowers. Because of that, she became the world’s richest woman at the time.
Katharine Hepburn (1907－2003)
Katharine Hepburn was known for playing strongwilled women in her films. She won four Academy Awards for Best Actress, the most an actress has ever won. Her new dress style made wearing trousers acceptable to women, which wasn’t allowed at that time.
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858－1928)
Emmeline was an influential woman activist, who helped British women get the right to vote. She fought along with her husband for the rights of women all the time in the late 19th century and early 20th century. After she lost her husband, she teamed up with her three daughters and formed The Women Social and Political Union, which was best known as the suffragettes (women’s right to vote).
1．What was the problem for Helena at first when she moved to Australia
A．She didn’t know how to make up. B．She didn’t have money.
C．She didn’t have work experience. D．She couldn’t speak English.
2．Which of the following words can be used to describe Emmeline Pankhurst
A．Patient. B．Friendly. C．Honest. D．Determined.
3．What do the four women in the text have in common
A．A pioneering spirit. B．A creative mind.
C．A good education. D．A warm heart.
B
Katalin Kariku along with her colleague Drew Weissman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023 for the development of mRNA technology.
Kariku was born in January 1955, in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in messenger RNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Kariku faced a shortage of funding for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stopping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country.
After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Kariku accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Kariku and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew, no one.
She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA．They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Kariku and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines (疫苗) that prevented the infection effectively.
Kariku’s life is a testament (证明) to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis.
1．What can we learn about Kariku from paragraph 2
A．She had a tolerant mind. B．She had a clear sense of purpose.
C．She was fond of world tours. D．She longed to be a doctor.
2．What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Not discouraged by. B．Being unaware of.
C．Not motivated by. D．Being ashamed of.
3．What is probably the main contribution of Kariku
A．Simplifying the mRNA technology. B．Making the structure of mRNA clear.
C．Laying the groundwork for mRNA vaccines. D．Developing a vaccine for cancer.
4．What lesson can we learn from Kariku’s success
A．Nothing seek, nothing find. B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Necessity is the mother of invention. D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Louis Pasteur was born on December 27, 1822, in Dole, located in the Jura region of France. He grew up in the town of Arbois. As a student with average grades, Pasteur was good at drawing and painting. He earned his bachelor (学士) of arts degree and a bachelor of science degree at the Royal College of Besancon and a doctorate in sciences from the cole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
Pasteur then spent several years researching and teaching at Dijon Lycée. In 1848, he became a professor of chemistry at the University of Strasbourg. In 1854, Pasteur was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Lille. There, Pasteur worked on finding solutions to the problems with the manufacture of alcoholic drinks and discovered that microbes (微生物) were responsible for souring alcohol.
Working with the germ theory, which Pasteur further developed through experiments and eventually convinced most of Europe of its truth, he demonstrated that microbes such as bacteria were responsible for souring wine, beer and even milk, leading to his invention of a process where bacteria could be removed by heating and then cooling liquid. He completed the first test on April 20, 1862. Today the process is known as pasteurization (加热杀菌法).
In 1865, Pasteur shifted focus and helped save the silk industry. He proved that microbes were attacking healthy silkworm eggs, causing an unknown disease and that the disease would be removed if the microbes were removed. He eventually developed a method to prevent their contamination and it was soon used by silk producers throughout the world.
Despite suffering from partial paralysis after a severe stroke in 1868, Pasteur continued his groundbreaking research. His discoveries greatly advanced humanity’s understanding of microbes and led to practical methods that saved countless lives and industries. Through his work, Pasteur fundamentally transformed science, public health, and the global economy.
1．What can we learn about Pasteur’s early life
A．He was talented in science from a young age.
B．He focused on chemistry throughout his education.
C．He became a professor instantly finishing his studies.
D．He was initially ordinary academically but shone in art.
2．What mainly caused Pasteur to develop pasteurization
A．His research on microbes.
B．His interest in wine making.
C．His experience in silk production.
D．His ambition to win awards in chemistry.
3．What does the underlined word “contamination” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Infection. B．Decoration. C．Transportation. D．Examination.
4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce the process of pasteurization.
B．To praise Pasteur’s contributions to science.
C．To show how microbes harm human health.
D．To discuss the development of the silk industry.
三、七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Albert Einstein held a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a shaking needle in his palm. 33 Albert’s father called it a compass(指南针), but Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north.
Something was in the room with him, Albert realized — something he couldn’t see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Puzzled and attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism(磁力), the strange force that made the compass needle point north. 34 To many children, the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert, the compass was a miracle he would never forget.
35 Born on March 14, 1879, Albert hadn’t looked like other babies. As she cradled her new-son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. Was something wrong with Albert Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert’s head began to look right to her. When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich, where his sister, Maja, was born a year later. 36 Where were the baby’s wheels The disappointed two-year-old wanted to know. Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels.
At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. The nine-year-old still had trouble putting his thoughts into words. But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. When he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father’s compass and what it had revealed to him. The clear, open grasslands were filled with more than the wind or the pleasant smell of flowers. 37 The very thought of it quickened his pulse.
A．They were also filled with magnetism.
B．Albert had always been different from other children.
C．The five-year-old stared at his hand as if it held magic.
D．The invisible force makes the compass more than a toy to all.
E．Looking down at the tiny sleeping parcel, Albert was puzzled.
F．Somewhere, the wind, soft and magic, clicked through tree branches.
G．But nothing he said made the invisible power less mysterious or wonderful.

Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals as their career. Even fewer will be 38 by the whole world, enjoying the title of United Nations Messenger(使者) of Peace.
But one woman has 39 all that. She has lived with chimps in the African forest for many years and made great discoveries. Jane Goodall’s lifelong 40 in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11, Goodall 41 going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young girls didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was 42 by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 43 and never give up looking for a way.
When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 44 it. Within a few months of her arrival, she met the famous anthropologist(人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the 45 person he was looking for to begin a 46 of wild chimps on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.
In the beginning, studying the chimps was not easy for her. The animals fled from her 47 . With a strong 48 , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimps too soon. Gradually the chimps became used to her presence.
In October 1960, she observed a chimp making and using 49 to fish for termites(白蚁). This discovery threw 50 on the popular idea at the time that man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimps are very 51 to humans.
Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental 52 . “ Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love.” she said.
