Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium, two radioactive elements that they extracted chemically from pitchblende ore) and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications. Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland and died on July 4, 1934. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radiums atomic weight. As a child, Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory. She learned to read when she was only four years old. Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie. She dreamed of becoming a scientist, but that would not be easy. Her family became very poor, and at the age of 18, Marie became a governess. She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris. Later, her sister helped Marie with her education. In 1891, Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie, a well-known physicist. Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material.41. What is the main idea of the passage?A. To give us a general introduction to Madame Curie.B. To show us how Madame Curie discovered radium.C. To tell us how Madame Curie developed as a scientist.D. To tell us how Madame Curie received two Nobel Prizes.42. Madame Curie was given the Nobel Prize in chemistry because_.A. she discovered radiumB. she separated pure radium and calculated its atomic weightC. she discovered poloniumD. she didnt patent methods of processing radium43. Which of the following statements about Madame Curie is Not True?A. Madame Curie made great contributions to medical science.B. Madame Curie was very smart and ambitious when she was a child.C. Madame Curie received two Nobel Prizes in physics.D. Madame Curies husband helped her a lot in her research.44. We can infer from the third paragraph that_.Madame Curie got married when she was at college.Madam Curie had a great ambition when she was young.Madame Curie loved teaching more than anything else.Madam Curie must have met a lot of difficulties to get high education.Her father had a great influence on Madam Curies future career.Madam Curie was very smart when she was a childA.

Which is the right order about Madam Curie according to the passage?a. married Pierre b. attended University c. discovered radium d. determined radiums atomic weight e. won the Nobel Prize in physicsA. b, c, a, d, e B. b, a, c, d, e C. b, a, c, e, d D. b, c, a, e, dBDid you ever wonder why leaves change colors in autumn, or how it happens? Heres a quick explanation.First of all, youve probably noticed that not all trees lose their leaves. There are two major types of trees: deciduous trees and evergreens. Evergreens keep their leaves and stay green all year long. The deciduous trees are the ones that lose their leaves each year. In autumn, the days begin to get shorter. The sun is also lower in the sky at noon, which causes temperatures to be cooler. The combination of less sunshine and lower temperatures is what causes the deciduous trees to drop their leaves. In winter, deciduous trees “go to sleep”, sort of like a bear goes into hibernation.Leaves are the food factories for a plant. Unlike animals，plants make their own food by taking energy directly from the sun. Plants do this by using a chemical in their leaves called chlorophyll.Chlorophyll is green. During the spring and summer the leaves of a deciduous tree look green because there is a lot of chlorophyll there. In autumn, however, the sunshine becomes more scarce and the leaves on the trees stop making new chlorophyll. As the old chlorophyll starts to break down, the green color of the leaf begins to go away.Youve probably also noticed that the leaves of different kinds of trees change different colors. The leaves of some trees turn yellow or orange, while the leaves of other trees turn bright red or purple. The different colors are caused by the different chemical reactions that are happening in the leaves. For example, the leaves of some trees turn yellow when the chlorophyll breaks down. When the green chlorophyll goes away, a yellow pigment in the leaf becomes visible. The yellow pigment, called cartenoid, was already there during the summer, but is was not easily seen because there was too much green chlorophyll.In other trees where the leaves turn red or purple a different chemical reaction takes place. In those leaves the chlorophyll also breaks down, but another chemical reaction takes place at the same time. Chemicals in the leaves, called starches, begin to change into chemicals called anthocyanins, which give the leaves their red and purple colors.So next time you see the beautiful colors of autumn you will also know the science behind that beauty.46.What is the correct term for trees that lose their leaves in the autumn?A. Evergreens B. Deciduous C. CartenoidsD. Anthocyanins47.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of trees dropping their leaves?A. A change in temperature B. The amount of daylight availableC. Extra chlorophyll D. Chemical changes in the leaves48.If there are 50 evergreens and 10 deciduous trees in a forest, in autumn what color are most of the leaves in the forest likely to be?A. Green B. Red and purpleC. Yellow D. not enough information to determine the answer49.Which of the following is only present in leaves during the autumn?A. ChlorophyllB. StarchC. Cartenoids D. Anthocyanins50.Where would such an article mostly likely be published?A. In a book B. In a primary school science text bookC. In a magazine for young people D. All are equally likely C Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said; “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).51. The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have _. A. showed little international friendship B. greatly encouraged international brotherhood C. created goodwill between the nations D. created only misunderstanding and hatred52. What did the manager mean by saying “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”? A. This is not a standard hockey match. B. The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over. C. His team would not enter the game in three years. D. The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.53. The basketball match showed that _. A. aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident B. the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds C. the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision D. the American team should have taken the first place54. The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that _. A. contests often end in disorder B. no contests are fair in Olympic Games C. competition discourages international friendship D. unfair decisions are common in sports55. Which statement best summarizes this passage? A. Athletes should compete as individuals. B. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved. C. Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended. D. Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列广告和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号（56-60）的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列广告：这是纽约时报电子版上的一些广告链接，请根据读报人不同需求判断他们将点击的广告。A.Get the Opinion Today E-MailSign up for the highlights of the day in Opinion of the New York Times, sent weekday afternoons.
