Gates recommended four books in 2018though some were published earlier.Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson (2017)The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vincis contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output. “Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time. Thats mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natural science and the human experience,” said Gates.The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, by Thi Bui (2017)Gates calls this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon, and becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents miserable history. “I was struck by how the experiences Bui illustrates manage to be both universal and specific to their circumstances,” said Gates.Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders (2018)Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt (萦绕) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincolns son, who died at 11 in real life. “Willies death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief hes creating in other families by sending their sons off to die in battle,” said Gates.Origin Story: A Big History of Everything, by David Christian (2018)This new book is by the creator of Big History, a free, online social studies course. It traces history in wide, sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe. “David gets a little stuck on the current economic and political problems in the West, and I wish he talked more about the role innovation will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change,” said Gates.1. Which books refer to the field of science?A. Origin Story and Leonardo da Vinci.B. Lincoln in the Bardo and Origin Story.C. Leonardo da Vinci and The Best We Could Do.D. The Best We Could Do and Lincoln in the Bardo.2. If you are interested in thrillers, whose book will you most probably choose?A. Walter Isaacson.B. Thi Bui.C. George Saunders.D. David Christian.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Best We Could Do is an autobiography.B. Lincoln in the Bardo has been warmly received.C. David Christian talks much about the part that innovation will play.D. Readers can only read about Leonardo da Vincis contributions towards art.【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了由比尔盖茨在2018年推荐的四本书，这四本书包括：Leonardo da Vinci, The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, Lincoln in the Bardo,以及Origin Story: A Big History of Everything。【1题详解】细节理解题。最后一段第二句“it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science.”可知Origin Story 这本书提供了一门现代科学的短期课程，涉及到了科学领域，故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。倒数第二段的第二句“The book imagines the ghosts that haunt (萦绕) the basement of Willie Lincoln”可知Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders这本书是属于惊悚题材的，故对惊悚小说感兴趣可以读本书，可以去阅读George Saunders的书，故选C。【3题详解】判断推理题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel.”可知Saunders凭借 Lincoln in the Bardo赢得了高度赞扬，可推理Lincoln in the Bardo这本书很受欢迎。故选B。(B)I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.4. What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiters making normal gestures.B. Customers buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiters attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.5. The author thought the man in need was _.A. not properly dressedB. obviously poorC. not right to leave without payingD. strange to order coffee from the wall6. In the authors opinion, coffee is _.A. necessary in our lifeB. respect shown for the needyC. a blessing to someone who cant affordD. a blessing everyone should have7. The passage is mainly concerned about _.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shop【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C【解析】本文为记叙文，文章讲述作者在一个著名的咖啡店看见的一幕，有人在点咖啡的时候，故意多点一杯，服务员会将一张写有“一杯咖啡”字样的纸贴在墙上，后来的穷人就可以要这杯咖啡，而不用花钱。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two.以及Similar occasions took place twice while we were there.可知作者感兴趣并困惑的是顾客付两杯咖啡的钱，一杯自己享用，把另一杯咖啡的字条贴在墙上，后来的穷人就可以要这杯咖啡，而不用花钱，所以D符合题意。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句Poverty was evident from his looks.可知从他的外表来看，贫穷是显而易见的，所以选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.可知咖啡或许是人们对那些支付不起的人的一种祝福，故选C。【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了作者在一个著名的咖啡店看见的一幕，有人在点咖啡的时候，故意多点一杯，服务员会将一张写有“一杯咖啡”字样的纸贴在墙上，后来的穷人就可以要这杯咖啡，而不用花钱的故事，由此可以看出，本文传达的关心，关爱有需要的人，所以C正确。(C)LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (Xinhua)Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95, according to media reports on Monday.Lee, born in Stanley Lieber on Dec. 28th, 1922, began his career in 1939 and joined the Marvel Comics in 1961.He is considered as one of the most legendary names in the history of comic books and the leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics. He co-created iconic fictional characters such as Spider-Man, X-Men, the Avengers, and many more.Lees characters often have super powers, but they also have weaknesses. They were humans, not gods. They not only struggled to save the world, but also to pay their bills, make friends, and hold jobs. This made Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its competitor DC, which produced the seemingly perfect heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. Those superheroes have been adapted into blockbuster films, most of which were made after Disney acquired Marvel in a 4-billion-dollar deal in 2009.In a statement, Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company said Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created.Marvel also praised Lee on its website by putting on one of Lees famous quotes, which goes, “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in peoples lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if youre able to entertain, youre doing a good thing. ”Praise from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was generous. President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige appreciated Lees unparalleled impact on the industry. “No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee,” Feige said. “Our thoughts are with his family and the millions of fans who have been forever touched by Stans genius, charisma and heart.”8.

C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了著名漫画作者斯坦李的生前事迹，他被认为是漫画史上最具传奇色彩的人物之一，也是漫威漫画崛起背后的主要创作力量。同时他也认为娱乐活动是人们生活中最重要的事情之一。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Lees characters often have super powers, but they also have weaknesses.”可知Lee创作出的角色是有弱点的，结合下文“This made Marvel comic book heroes stand apart from its competitor DC”可知，这正是使得他所在公司漫威漫画公司不同于DC公司角色的原因。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。第六段倒数第二句“then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in peoples lives.”Lee意识到娱乐是人们生活中最重要的事情之一，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。最后一段倒数第二句“No one has had more of an impact on my career than Stan Lee, ” Feige said.”可知Feige说没有人比斯坦李对他的职业生涯影响更大了，故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。文章属于人物传记类文章，主要围绕斯坦李的生前事迹进行展开。且文章第一段第一句已经点明“Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95”斯坦李的去世是写这篇文章的初衷，故综合选项C选项最切合题意。(D)Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadnt been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the teams results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.12. What do we know about the technology called SCNT?A. It created the first two primates.B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.13. What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?A. Keeping a hot topic of it.B. Attaching no importance to it.C. Having a low opinion of it.D. Adding supportive evidence to it.14. What is the scientists purpose to clone these monkeys?A. To prepare for their research on human cloning.B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.C. To help with the study of human diseases.D. To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.15. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cloning humans is already on its way.B. New techniques seem to be pointless.C. Society wont agree to clone another monkey.D. The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D【解析】本文是一篇科普类的文章。被称作SCNT的高科技可能有助于编辑DNA。本文中科学家们克隆这些猴子的目的是帮助研究人类疾病。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.可知，SCNT可能有助于编辑DNA。故B项正确。【13题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段中Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the teams results bring scientists closer to cloning humans.可知在第二段中“pouring water on the idea”的意思是“对它的评价很低。”故C项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they ly have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans.可知，科学家们克隆这些猴子的目的是帮助研究人类疾病。故C项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.和最后一段最后一句Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.可知，克隆一只猴子的成功率并不高。故D项正确。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。All over the world people are hooked on sports, which help them to strengthen their b
