15、e other blanks, used one word that best fits each blank.AAlbert Einstein completely changed scientific thought. After he developed the Theory of Relativity, Einstein opened the door for the creation of the atomic bomb. Although Einstein was not famous in his lifetime, he later became 21_ (famous) sc
16、ientist of the 20th century.Although nowadays Einstein 22_( consider) the best example of genius, in the first two decades of his life, many people thought Einstein was the exact opposite. When Einstein didnt talk until he was three years old, his parents worried something was wrong with him. Einste
17、in also failed 23_ (impress) his teachers. From elementary school through college, his teachers and professors thought him lazy, sloppy, and insubordinate (不屈服的). Many of his teachers thought he would never amount to anything.24_ appeared to be laziness in class was really boredom. 25_ _ just memori
18、zing facts and dates, Einstein preferred to consider questions 26_ _ what makes the needle of a compass point in one direction? Why is the sky blue? What would it be like to travel at the speed of light?Unfortunately for Einstein, these were not the types of topics he was taught in school. 27_ his e
19、xcellent grades, Einstein found regular schooling to be strict and unfair. Things changed for Einstein when he treated Max Talmud friendly, the 21-year-old medical student who ate dinner at the Einsteins once a week. Although Einstein was only eleven years old, Max introduced Einstein to numerous sc
20、ience and philosophy books and then discussed their content with him. Einstein flourished in this learning environment and it wasnt long 28_ Einstein surpassed (超过) what Max could teach him.BA son in many developing countries means insurance, _29_will inherit his fathers property and help support th
21、e family. However, to parents, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. A girl cant help but_30_(feel) inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy. Her future is, to some extent, shaped 31_ _ _ her family limits her op
22、portunities and treat her as second-rater, which explains why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.Deep discrimination against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential. It also leaves them victims to severe physi
23、cal and emotional harm. These servants of the household come to accept that life will never be any different. Whats most harmful, it results not only in millions of individual tragedies, but also in the lost potential for _32_ entire country. Studies show there is a direct link between a countrys at
24、titude toward women and its social and economic progress. The status of women is central to the health of a society. If one part suffers, so does the whole.To deal with the situation, many women turn to education. Educated women are essential to _33_ (end) sex discrimination, starting by reducing th
25、e poverty. The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women. Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia, for instance, are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.Women who have had some schooling are
26、more likely to get married later, survive childbirth, have fewer and healthier children, and make sure their own children _34_(complete) school. Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生) and nutrition，they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.Nevertheless, the comprehensive change for a s
27、ociety speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education. As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs, they gain status in their communities, which _35_(translate) into the power to influence their families and societies. Such power_36_, together with other fo
28、rces of outside interference, make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up womens fates in these countries.III.Vocabulary( 20)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)A.
29、designedF. independenceK. determinationB. apparentG. reservedC. encouragementH. ignorantD. talentedI. equalE. preferredJ. traditionalMore and more young adults are remaining single and independent. This is bringing about a violent change in the education of young people. More and more young girls ar
30、e signing up for the classes previously 37 only for boys. And, conversely, a good number of boys are finding that classes in cooking and sewing are extremely useful to their own 38 . A growing number of college students are choosing to take the classes which are meaningful and useful rather than 39
31、. I find it encouraging that some women are pursuing training as mechanics and electricians. Within ten years or so, the number of women in the mechanical field may be nearly 40 to the number of men. It is becoming more and more 41 that women are not “mechanically dumb”. They just never got the 42 t
32、o learn the basics of mechanics. It doesnt require a mans hand to turn a screw or tighten a bolt. The tools are 43 for anyones hand. I know several women who have rebuilt and maintain their own cars, and they are no brawnier than an average secretary. Slowly, bit by bit, I am learning how the engine
33、 in my car works and what is required to keep it running. Its dirty work and requires some 44 , but I am gaining independence because of the notion that it is “mans work” and I wont have to take it to a mechanic who would be happy to over-charge an “ 45 ” woman.Someday, perhaps, when women have been
34、 given the chance to allow their talents to blossom, we may find that lady mechanics will be 46 over males. Now wont that be a switch?(B)A. labeledF. optionsK. laborB. concernedG. individualsC. widespreadH. impactD. simplyI. similarlyE. fairJ. lifestyleMany of the problems facing todays world arent
35、news to us. The environment is in dire need of help because its being damaged, hunger is 47 throughout the world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, 48 across the globe need to join together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the d
36、ifference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesnt seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive 49 on environmental damage. 50 , there are countless ways to help fight world hungerwhet
37、her its to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make 51 changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problembut it doesnt mean individuals themselves cant make a difference.Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All acros
38、s the worldparticularly in third world countriesworkers are forced to 52 long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other 53 .So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? 54 raising awareness of the products you bu
39、y in storesfrom clothing to foodis a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is 55 “fair trade”, youll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a 56 price for their goods. And true, fair trade pr
40、oducts might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation.IV.

51、 four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biot
52、echnology. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Todays leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories. In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most o
53、f the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could no
54、t go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take
55、medicine to repair their organs. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing th
56、e most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.72According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by _.Adiseases and aging Baccidents and warCaccidents and aging Dheart disease and war73In the authors opinio

67、ld that made her legendary(传奇的).Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1832 or 1833, Mary had nothing, not even a date of birth. However, in her early years, she found something of truly lasting valuea friend named Dolly. In addition to friendship, Dolly also may have taught Mary to read and write, an in
68、valuable advantage for slaves. At the end of Americas Civil War, Mary finally received her freedom and made her own way out into the world.Mary was employed on a steamboat as a maid when she received word from Dolly, now a nun （修女）in Ohio called Mother Amadeus. Mary arrived in Ohio in 1878 and worke
69、d at Amadeus girls school, managing the kitchen and garden. She became known as a gun-carrying, cigar-smoking woman, but also as an example of kindness and reliability. After a few years, though, Amadeus was sent to another school out West in Montana, becoming the first black woman to settle in cent
70、ral Montana.When Mary was in her 50s, a sick Mother Amadeus called her West. So Mary made her way to the small town of Cascade, Montana, to nurse Amadeus to health. She did this and more, running supplies and visitors to St. Peters Mission where Amadeus lived. Once when her wagon(四轮马车) overturned, s
71、he guarded the delivery from wolves through the night.But Marys rough edges caused the local bishop (主教) to prohibit her from working at the mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first African-American female employee of the U.S. Postal Service. Though in her 60s, Mary was such a dependable
72、 mail carrier that she earned the name “tagecoach” Mary. She became a beloved figure in Cascade.

78、country.E. Germany has expanded restrictions on social interactions to try to control the coronavirus outbreak, banning public gatherings of more than two people.F. There is a strong financial incentive(动机) to conceal (to hide) symptoms.Getting sick is an invariable(永恒的) part of people lives. _84_.
79、This difference hasnt been more pronounced since the start of the start of the novel coronavirus epidemicwhen a great number of people are falling ill at all the same time. The conditions in the US are getting worse quickly, which is largely due to the fact that there is no universal healthcare syst
80、em. According to the 2019 US Census, 28 million people are not covered or do not have adequate health insurance, meaning that they would probably avoid getting tested for the virus, for fear of the cost of being hospitalized.“_85_So many people have no alternative but to try to keep working and cari
81、ng for children so as to keep life going, and by consequence, they are spreading the virus simply because they have no other choice,” wrote reporter James Hamblin on the Atlantic.Germany, on the contrary, has one of the worlds best-developed and most expensive public healthcare systems that covers e
82、very citizen. People in Germanywho have “high levels of job security”, according to the Los Angeles Timesare also more likely to follow the quarantine measures and stay at home without having to worry about losing their jobs._86_.“The conditions to deal with the virus in Germany are among the best i
83、n the world,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to the Los Angeles Times.Japan also has universal public healthcare, but it brings another kind of problem: People tend to seek more medical care than necessary. According to Yusuke Tsugawa, a physician at Harvard University, Japan has th
84、ree times more outpatient visits than the US, and patients also stay in hospital for three times longer than in the US._87_.“It isnt good to do tests just to ease public anxiety,” Kentaro Iwata, an infectious disease expert at Kobe University. Japan , told Reuters. “If they test every one with light
85、 symptoms, the medical system will puncture(破损).”Indeed, a countrys healthcare system is the key to keeping its people safe-its also the key to whether a country can survive a crisis like the novel coronavirus pandemic.V.

104、Henrys response?Section BQuestions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Today, Chinese Americans make up less than 1%of the U.S. population, but roughly a third of all ethnic restaurants in the U.S. are “Chinese”, and every supermarket carries a line of “Chinese” food. It started with th
105、e gold rush of 1849. As thousands of Chinese streamed into California in search of gold, hundreds of thousands of Chinese migrated to the United States. By 1882, when Congress cut down on Chinese immigration, there were more than 300,000 Chinese nationals living on the West Coast. Most came from Gua
106、ngdong Province. So most Chinese restaurants served Cantonese-style food. In Cantonese cuisine, very little goes to waste: nearly every part of an animal that can be eaten is used in one dish or another. Chinese cooks, however, quickly learned to modify their dishes to make them better received by a
107、 wider American audience. The result was a Chinese-American cuisine that looked and tasted Chinese, but was actually invented in the U.S. and was unknown in China. A good example of a Chinese-American dish is Chop Suey. No one knows for sure when it was invented, or how it got its name. It likely st
108、arted in 1850 when a bunch of hungry miners made their way into a Chinese restaurant late at night and demanded to be fed. The chef just stirred all the remains he could find left over on the table into a big mess and served it. The miners loved it. When they asked what it was, the chef replied “cho
109、p suey,” which means “rubbish bits” in Cantonese. The dish remained virtually unheard of in China until after World War II. Today, its advertised as American cuisine. Well, what other contributions have immigrants made to American cuisine?Questions:11.When did Chinese food first catch on in America?
110、12.Why did Americans come to accept Chinese food?13.What was the origin of Chop Suey, according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.When I was young, I was ashamed to admit I came from a remote village, yet I lacked the courage to claim I was from a city. So I u
111、sually said simply that I came from an outlying township. Now I must tell the truth that I was born in an isolated village. Let me start from the banks of a humble river where my lifebegan and which is the true source of my writing. My fellow villagers live in an environment completely cutoff from t
112、he outside world. I know their lives only too well. If I had not had a distant dream from a veryyoung age, I would have shared their fate. All my memories of a joyful childhood and the pains of growing up are intertwined with the river. She keeps all of my secrets. I cannot agree with people who pra
113、ise the poetic beauty of the countryside. I cannot agree with them because I know, in reality, life in the countryside is all about poverty and hunger. Of course, I was blessed to be born in that remote village, and to spend my childhood by the clear river. Looking back at my path from the village g
114、ives rise to a complicated happiness.The river has played an important role in my childhood because it gave me a unique life experience as if it was preparing me for my literary journey. Whatever life has given me-be it poverty, hunger, misfortune or tragedy-for me, they are treasures. I will be for
115、ever grateful for, and feel blessed by, these treasures.Questions:14.What distinguished the speaker from his fellow villagers?15.What does the speaker think of the countryside?16.Why is the river so important for the speaker?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W:The real
