Her contribution to mathematics was in both algebra (代数) and differential and integral calculus (微积分学).Mary was one of the worlds first famous female mathematicians. She became interested in mathematics and decided to study it at the time when it was considered unacceptable for a woman to do so. She bought books on algebra and geometry and read them at night. In spite of disapproval from people around her, she firmly went on with her struggle to learn. She won a prize for her solution to an algebra problem. She went on to write several books on mathematics. Later in her life, she thought deeply about the years in which she had persevered (坚持) almost without hope and said, “It taught me never to lose heart.”Marys way of learning remains useful today. If she worked for a while on a problem without coming up with an idea, she stopped working and turned her attention to the piano, her needlework, or a walk outdoors. She then returned to the problem with a fresh mind and a solution turned up. If she could not understand a passage while reading, she would forget about it and read on; several pages later, the meaning of the puzzling passage would become clear to her.21. Why did Mary decide to study math?A. Because she found math interesting and wanted to study it.B. Because she was one of the worlds first famous female mathematicians.C. Because it was not considered acceptable for a woman to study math.D. Because she was bored and had nothing to do.22. What does the underlined word “disapproval” in Paragraph 2 mean in this text?A. Disagreement.B. Agreement.C. Support. D. Discovery.23. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Mary could solve any difficult math problem easily.B. Mary was, without doubt, a famous female mathematician.C. Mary had some useful ways to deal with difficulties in her work.D. Marys ways to overcome difficulties were not effective.24. According to the passage, if you have been puzzled by a math problem, youd better _.A. keep working on it until it is solvedB. just forget about the problemC. turn to your math teacher for helpD. listen to light music for a while and then continue working on itFathers Day may be over in the United States, but animal dads are still hard at work. From penguins to catfish (鲶鱼), some animal fathers play a big part in raising their babies.“Seahorses are possibly the best example of fathers caring for their young in the animal world,” said Heather Masonjones, a biologist at the University of Tampa in Florida. Human mothers carry their babies in their bodies for nine months. But seahorses are different. A female seahorse lays eggs and then puts them in a pouch on a male seahorses belly (腹部), where the eggs stay until they hatch.Male seahorses arent the only animal dads caring for eggs. The male hardhead catfish carries up to 48 marble-size eggs in his mouth for 60 days! He doesnt eat for the entire time. “Youd think it would be hard for them to give up a meal,” said Ed Matheson, a fish expert at the Florida Marine Research Institute.Emperor penguins sit on eggs to hatch them during Antarcticas freezing winter. The males have to gather closely together for warmth and can lose half of their weight in the two months that it takes the baby penguins to hatch.Even mammal (哺乳动物) dads play a role in raising their young. The male South American marmoset (狨猴) takes care of the baby in place of the mother a few weeks after she gives birth.So next Fathers Day, remember the millions of dads hard at work in the animal kingdom!25. Which sentence is the topic sentence of the second paragraph？A. The first one. B. The second one.C. The third one. D. The fourth one.26. How many kinds of animal dads does this text mention?A. One. B. Two. C. Three.D. Four.27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this text?A. The female hardhead catfish carries eggs in her mouth for 60 days.B. The male marmoset takes care of the baby as soon as the mother gives birth.C. The eggs stay in a pouch on a male seahorses belly until they hatch.D. Emperor penguins sit on eggs to keep warm during the freezing winter.28. Who is the text mainly written for?A. Biologists. B. Fish experts.C. Ordinary readers. D. American fathers.Ian became a highway robber to support his family. He continued as a robber day after day and year after year.One day, Ian went to rob a traveler. Unlike those who have been robbed by him before, the traveler showed no fear and asked, “Why do you do this every day?” Ian was surprised and answered without thinking, “Because I have a family. Robbing is the only way I can earn money to support my family.” “Are your family members prepared to share your punishment with you?” Ian was puzzled and said he didnt know. The traveler told him to go home and ask them.Ian asked his wife, “Do you know how I work to support you?” His wife replied, “Yes, I know.” Ian asked, “Are you going to share the punishment Ill get for the way I earn my living?” His wife answered, “No. You married me and you should take care of me.”Next, his parents replied, “Son, we raised you with great care. Now we dont have the energy to work. So its your duty to look after us. We wont share any of the punishments placed upon you for what youve done.”Ian hadnt expected their answers. He became sad and returned to the traveler. Ian told him all the conversations. The traveler said, “You have to take the consequences yourself.” Ian thanked him for letting him see the errors in his ways. After this incident, Ian started learning in order to work and support the family in legal ways.29. How long did Ian work as a highway robber?A. Several days. B. Several weeks.C. Several months. D.

When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that ones memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who cant read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.32.

The passage mainly tells us _.A. how to get our arms and legs stronger B. how to improve our memoryC. how to read and write D. how to remember dates and prices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。Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time, _36_ Money is a topic Ill save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?_37_2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? _38_ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. _39 _ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation（实验）. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes (食谱) that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. _40_ And dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden (负担).B. Make three or four instead.C. Ability is easily improved.D. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Try new things.G. Understand your food better.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从4160各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。“Cheese” a metaphor (隐喻) for what we want to have in life，whether it is a job, a relationship, or money.Each of us has our own 41 of what cheese is, and we want to 42 it because we believe it makes us 43 .Once there lived four little characters.
