It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on th
17、at cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?No. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a
18、 bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a bookit was Hemingways The Sun Also Risesand I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldnt bear the thought of s
19、itting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role as a daughter, sister, teenager, and studentin the world no longe
20、r had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingways language was qu
21、ietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did
22、and happiness is their generous side effect.24. Why did the author skip school on that day?ABecause her parents left home early.BBecause she was fascinated by a novel.CBecause it was a cold winter morning.DBecause she hated to take the biology exam.25.

24、my real-life roles.BI learnt how to write on the internet.CHemingway skipped school when he was young.DBecoming a writer was my childhood dream.COver the past five decades mosquito populations in parts of the Baltimore have increased rapidly by a factor of 10a situation with worrying inferences for
25、the spread of diseases such as West Nile virus, dengue and chikungunya(西尼罗病毒、登革热和基孔肯雅病). A new study published last October in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that in Baltimore, low-income neighborhoods bear the biggest burden: they have not only more mosquitoes but also larger ones, which o
26、ften survive longer.The problem most likely is rooted in the fact that Baltimore has nearly 17, 000 abandoned buildings, which are concentrated in economically disadvantaged areas and serve as convenient mosquito-breeding zones. To effectively beat mosquitoes and the diseases they carry, the study s
27、uggests, cities will need to account for urban infrastructure(基础设施).Researchers at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y., and the University of Maryland trapped adult Aedes albopictus (better known as Asian tiger mosquitoes) in five Baltimore residential neighborhoods over three
28、 years. This species, introduced to the U.S. in 1987, is now the most common in many American cities. When the researchers measured the mosquitoes wing lengths, a proxy(代表)for body size, they found that the insects grew larger in lower-income blocks.Bigger mosquitoes are not just a bigger annoyance:
29、 the larger they are, the longer they tend to liveand the more times each one can bite. Because mosquitoes have to bite at least once to become infected with disease-causing microorganisms(微生物)and again to pass them on to people, bigger mosquitoes could pose higher disease risks. Larger mosquitoes a
30、lso lay more eggs, setting the stage for higher numbers later on. Senior study author Shannon LaDeau, a Cary Institute disease ecologist, and her colleagues found in a 2013 study that low-income blocks in Baltimore were 72 percent more likely to have Asian tiger mosquitoes than high-income blocks we
31、re and showed higher mosquito densities(密度).28. What makes mosquitoes in Baltimore worrying?A. They indicate Baltimore is poorer than other places.B. They can cause bigger mosquitoes in Baltimore.C. They contribute to the spread of diseases.D. They usually survive shorter than expected.29. Where doe
32、s the mosquito problem in Baltimore lie?A. In its larger population. B. In its poorer economy.C. In its geographical location. D. In its dense buildings.30. What can be learned about Aedes albopictus?A. They are also called Asian tiger mosquitoes.B. They are most found in African countries.C. They a
33、rrived in the U.S. in the year 1887.D. They grow larger in more wealthy areas.31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Diseases spread by Asian tiger mosquitoes.B. Measures to deal with Asian tiger mosquitoes.C. Features of Asian tiger mosquitoes.D. Problems arising from bigger mosquitoes.DFor
34、 reasons that are deeply rooted in culture and tradition, men significantly outnumber (比多) women in mathematics-based careers. As students progress through the mathematics courses, girls and boys show little difference in ability, effort, or interest in mathematics until adolescent years when course
35、 and career choices begin influencing school effort. Then, as social pressure increases and career goals are formed, girls decisions to reduce effort in the study of mathematics progressively cut them off from many professional careers in the future. Many girls drop mathematics in high school or in
36、the transition to college. Others drop out later. Women perform virtually as well as men in college mathematics courses, but beyond the bachelors degree women drop out of mathematics at twice the rate of men. Women now enter college nearly as well prepared in mathematics as men, and 46 percent of ma
37、thematics baccalaureates (学士学位) go to women. Despite this record, only 35 percent of the masters degrees and 17 percent of the Ph. D degrees in the mathematical sciences are earned by women. Overall, women receive approximately one third of university degrees in science and engineering. The highest
38、percentages of women are found in those sciences with the least mathematical prerequisite: psychology, biology, and sociology. The lowest percentages of women enter fields requiring the most mathematics, namely, physics, engineering, economics, geoscience, and chemistry. Evidence from many sources s
39、uggest that it is differences in course patterns rather than lack of ability that matter most in limiting womens access to careers in mathematically intensive sciences. Widely reported studies concerning the high percentage of boys among mathematical prodigies (天才) those who at age 12 perform at the
40、 level of average college students often convey the impression that gender differences in mathematics are biologically determined. But evidence from the vast majority of students shows almost no difference in performance among male and female students who have taken equal advantage of similar opport
41、unities to study mathematics. Inferences from very exceptional students child prodigies mean little about the performance of the general population.32. Males and females probably have great difference in the learning abilities of in mathematics when they _.A. enter high school B. acquire their bache
42、lors degreeC. enter college D. acquire their masters degree33. Of the following degrees, the highest percentage of degree earned by women is _.A. masters degree in economics B. doctors degree in economicsC. masters degree in biology D. doctors degree in biology34. We can infer from the high percenta
43、ge of boys among mathematical prodigies that _.A. boys and girls usually take unequal advantage of opportunities to study mathematicsB. boys are cleverer in mathematics than girlsC. gender differences in mathematics are biologically determinedD. boys work harder than girls35.Which one doesnt belong
44、to the reasons why men significantly outnumber women in mathematics-based careers?A. Many girls decide to reduce effort in the study of mathematics as social pressure increases.B. Course pattern is the factor that limits womens access to careers in mathematically intensive sciences.C. Womens less in
45、terest in mathematics limits their access to some careers.D. More women drop out of mathematics than men beyond the bachelors degree.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。 How to make your class fun?As a teacher, it is often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your stu

Also, having a balanced diet and working out regularly is equally vital to stay away from catching some illnesses. Of course, if possible, avoid going to crowded public places. A healthy body results from good healthy habits, so lets act together to fight against diseases and create a better life.The Student Union
