24、 it to them.With littlemore than a pencil,a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in thecountry,Mrs.Johnson,who died at 101 on Monday,calculated the precise trajectories(轨道)that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and,after Neil Armstrongshistorymaking moonwalk,let it return t
25、o Earth.Yet throughout Mrs.Johnsons 33 years in NASA and for decades afterward,almost no one knew her name.Mrs.Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated,supremely capable yetlargely unrecognized women who,well before the modem feminist movement,worked as NASA mathematicians.But it was not
26、 only her sex that kept her longunsung.For some years at midcentury,the black women were subjected to a doublesegregation(隔离):They were kept separate from the much large group of whitewomen who in turn were segregated from the agencys male mathematicians andengineers.Mrs.Johnson broke barriers at NA
27、SA.In old age,Mrs.Johnson became the mostcelebrated of black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency.Theirstory was told in the 2016 Hollywood film Hidden Figures,which was nominated forthree Oscars,including best picture.In 2017,NASA dedicated a building in her honor.That year,The W
28、ashington Postdescribed her as“the most high-profile of the computers”“computers”beingthe term originally used to describe Mrs.Johnson and her colleagues,much as“typewriters”were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.She“helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space,”NASAs ad
29、ministrator,JimBridenstine,said in a statement on Monday,“even as she made huge steps that alsoopened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explorespace.”As Mrs.Johnson herself was fond of saying,her tenure(任期)at Langley from1953 until her retirement in 1986 was“a time

33、els attached by others.文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国登月的幕后功臣:传奇女数学家的 101岁的传奇人生。8.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“They asked Katherine Johnson for the moon,andshe gave it to them.Wielding little more than a pencil,a slide rule and one of thefinest mathematical minds in the country,Mrs.Johnson,who died at 101 on Monday,cal
34、culated the precise trajectories that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969and,after Neil Armstrongs historymaking moonwalk,let it return to Earth.(他们向凯瑟琳约翰逊要月亮,她给了他们。约翰逊夫人,周一去世,享年 101 岁。凭借着不过一支铅笔,一把计算尺和最为杰出的数学头脑,约翰逊计算出了 1969 年助力阿波罗 11 号登陆月球的精确轨迹,并让尼尔.阿姆斯特朗在历史性的月球漫步后成功返回地球。)”由此判断出,第一段的主要目的为强调
35、约翰逊夫人对于阿波罗 11 号登陆月球的贡献。故选 B 项。9.A 词义猜测题。分析可知,划线单词所在句应是本段首句,应起到承前启后的作用。结合后文“In old age,Mrs.Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who servedas mathematicians for the space agency.Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywoodfilm Hidden Figures,which was nominated for three Oscars,including be
36、stpicture.(约翰逊夫人晚年成为美国航天局最著名的黑人女数学家。2016 年的好莱坞电影隐藏人物讲述了他们的故事,这部电影获得了包括最佳影片奖在内的三项奥斯卡提名。)”讲述了她后来的地位和影响,可知,句中的“barriers”应是指前文提及的“For some years atmidcentury,the black women were subjected to a double segregation:They werekept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn weresegregated
37、from the agencys male mathematicians and engineers.”在上世纪中叶的一些年里,黑人女性受到双重隔离:她们被隔离于数量庞大的白人女性群体之外,而白人女性又被隔离于该机构的男性数学家和工程师之外。所以划线的词意思为“性别不平等和肤色界线。”故选 A 项。10.B 细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“That year,The Washington Post described her as“the most high-profile of the computers”“computers”being the termoriginally used to
38、 describe Mrs.Johnson and her colleagues,much as“typewriters”were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.(那一年,华盛顿邮报称她为“计算机界最引人注目的人物”“计算机”一词最初用来形容约翰逊夫人和她的同事,就像 19 世纪用来代表职业打字员的“打字机”一样。)”且前文提及“In old age,Mrs.Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who served as mathematici
39、ansfor the space agency.(约翰逊夫人晚年成为美国航天局最著名的黑人女数学家。)”可知,称她们为计算机,是因为她们是数学家,拥有数学头脑,计算出了人类迈向月球的距离。故选B 项。11.D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容:She“helped our nation enlarge thefrontiers of space,”NASAs administrator,Jim Bridenstine,said in a statement onMonday,“even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for wom
40、en andpeople of color in the universal human quest to explore space.”(美国宇航局局长吉姆布里登斯汀(Jim Bridenstine)在周一的一份声明中说,她“帮助我们的国家扩大了太空领域的前沿”,“她迈出了巨大的一步,也为女性和不同肤色的人种探索太空打开了大门。”)由此判断出,可以从她身上学到不要受到别人的束缚,走出自己的道路。选项 D.Never be limited by thelabels attached by others.(永远不要被别人贴上的标签所限制。)符合推测,故选 D 项。DAlthough it has
41、 been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing,hearing and smelling,they are still usually thought of as silent.But now,for the firsttime,Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomatoand tobacco plants made ultrasonic(超声的)sounds at frequencies
42、humans cant hearwhen stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in theultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz.Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertzto 20 kilohertz.These findings can alter the way we think about the pl
43、ant kingdom,they wrote in their study,which has not yet been published.On average,drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour,whiletobacco plants made 11.When plant stems were cut,tomato plants made an averageof 25 sounds in the following hour,and tobacco plants 15.Unstressed plantsproduce
44、d fewer than one sound per hour.It is even possible to distinguish betweenthe sounds to know what the stress is.The researchers trained a machine learningmodel to separate the plants,sounds from those of the wind,rain and other noises ofthe greenhouse,correctly identifying in most cases whether the
45、stress was caused bydryness or a cut,based on the sounds intensity and frequency.Water hungrytobacco appeared to make louder sounds than cut tobacco,for example.AlthoughKhait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants,they believe otherplants may make sounds when stressed.Enabling f
46、armers to listen for water stressed plants could open a newdirection in the field of precision(精准)agriculture,the researchers suggest.They addthat such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes moreareas to drought.Khaits study also suggests that insects and some mammals ca
47、n hear and respondto from as far as 5 metres away.A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plantthat sounds water-stressed.Edward Farmer at the University of Lausanne,Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is“a little toospeculative”.After all,there are already plenty
48、of explanations for why insects avoidsome plants and not others.12.What were tomato and tobacco plants reactions to different stresses?A.They reacted to different types of stress with the same sound.B.Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water hungry ones.C.Cut tobacco plants seemed
49、to make lower sounds than drought-stressed ones.D.Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.13.Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.The potential applications of the research.B.Challenges facing farmers in the future.C.Farmers contributions to the research.D.The
50、future development of agriculture.14.What does the underlined word speculative in the last paragraph probablymean?A.Practical.B.Surprising.C.Unsupported.D.Complicated.15.What may be the best tide for the text?A.Silent screamB.Mysteries of natureC.Inner voicesD.A yet-to-be-published study文章大意:这是一篇说明文
51、。文章主要讲述植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类无法用耳朵听到的。同时提及了该研究发现有可能对农业带来潜在的应用。12.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句内容“Water-hungry tobacco appeared tomake louder sounds than cut tobacco,for example.”可知,缺水的烟草似乎比切断烟草发出的声音更响亮。C 项“Cut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds thandrought-stressed ones.(切断烟草发出的声音似乎比缺水的烟草的声音要低。)”与原
52、文表述含义一致。故选 C 项。13.A 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段内容“Enabling farmers to listen for water stressedplants could“open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”,theresearchers suggest.They add that such an ability will be increasingly important asclimate change exposes more areas to drought.(研究人员表示,让农民能够听到
53、缺水作物的声音,可能会“在精准农业领域开辟一个新方向”。他们补充说,随着气候变化使更多地区面临干旱,这种能力将变得越来越重要。)”可知,本段在讲述这种研究发现对于农业的作用。选项 A.The potential applications of the research.(研究的潜在应用。)概括了本段内容。故选 A 项。14.C 词义猜测题。根据后文“After all,there are already plenty of explanations for whyinsects avoid some plants and not others.(毕竟,对于昆虫为什么避开某些植物而不避开其他植物
54、,已经有很多解释了。)”可知,在从另一个已经证实的方面解释蚊子选择缺水植物的原因,可推知,前文提及的“Edward Farmer at the University of Lausanne,Switzerlandthinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is“a little too speculative”.”应是讲述了 Edward Farmer 对提及观点“moths might be listening to plants(飞蛾可能在听植物的声音)”的反对,认为其不合理。因此,speculative 应理解为“不成立
55、”或“不合理”,与选项 C.Unsupported.(不受支持的。)表达含义一致。故选 C 项。15.A 主旨大意题。根据文章结构为总分结构,第一段 but 句提出本文中心话题“But now,forthe first time,Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found thattomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic sounds at frequencies humans cant hearwhen stressed by a lack of wat
56、er or when their stem is cut.(但是现在,以色列特拉维夫大学的 Itzhak Khait 和他的同事们第一次发现,番茄和烟草植物发出的超声波频率是人类在缺水或茎被切断时无法听到的。)”可知,文章主要讲述植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类无法用耳朵听到的。选项 A.Silent scream(无声的尖叫)合理概括了本文中心话题,可作最佳选项。故选 A 项。第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Making other people feel good fee

64、r another person,and b 机 h recipients andgood deed-doers can get the benefits.It cant be smarter idea to create this WorldKindness Day.”研究表明,当人们为他人做一些好事时,他们会感到更快乐,而受惠者和做好事的人也能得到好处。创造这个世界慈善日是再聪明不过的主意了。再结合下文的几个小标题的内容(下文主要提供了一些方式让别人也快乐)。可推断出空格处是指用一些方式让他人也像你一样快乐。分析选项可知 C 项 Open your heart with some smal
65、l,free ways to makesomeones day(你敞开心扉,用一些小方式来也让他们感觉开心)符合题意,故选 C。17.F考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空格处是小标题。根据标题后的内容可知,空格“与朋友分开很久之后,如果你遇到麻烦,可用一条短信、一张便条或一个电话就会重新取得联系”。空格后“因为研究表明牢固的关系也。能提高人的身体健康”。由此可推断出,如果你与朋友或家人失去联系,也要重新取得联系。分析选项可知 F 项 Reconnect with a friend orfamily member(与朋友或家人重新联系)符合题意,故选 F。18.A 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断
66、能力。本段的小标题为“Genuinely complimentsomeone”真诚地赞美某人。结合空前的“A respectful comment that comes from theheart.might be all it takes to improve someones mood.”发自内心的赞美之词可以提高人情绪。同样地其他人的积极的话也可以让一些人对自己好一点。分析选项可知 A 项 Otherspositive words could help some people be a bit kinder to themselves,too.(其他人的积极的话语也可以帮助一些人对自己更
67、好一点)符合题意,故选 A。19.E考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题为“捡起你周围的垃圾”。根据上一句“Picking up trash and recyclables off the street beautifies your community andbenefits the environment”及下句“The environment cant clean itself,after all!”可知,捡起街道上的垃圾和可回收物品可以美化你的社区,也有益于环境。因为毕竟环境不能自我清洁。所以大家要一起承担清洁周围的环境,美化环境的任务。分析选项可知 E 项 It might
68、even inspire others to take up the task with you(它甚至可能激励其他人和你一起承担这项任务)符合题意,故选 E。20.D考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题为“Thank the people in yourlife”感谢你生命中的人。根据上句“They are the security guard outside of your workplace,the supermarket worker you see every day,your mom.”他们是你工作场所外的保安,是你每天都能见到的超市员工,是你的妈妈。由此可知,生命中的人
