For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child，” he told the BBC.‎ Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)technology — more commonly known as “testtube (试管) baby”technology — passed away on April ‎ 10,2013 at the age of 87.‎ ‎“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，” said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”‎ Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s，when he had just finished his PhD in genetics.At that time，much of the public viewed testtube babies as “scary”， according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.‎ Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature，” Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.‎ ‎“But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing，” said Sauer. Without support from the government，the two struggled to raise funds to carry on.And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.‎ The first testtube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown.Despite people's safety concerns，Brown was just as healthy as other children.‎ ‎“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun，” BBC commented.‎ Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably.Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (涌向) to Edwards' clinic.Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other “testtube”children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and ‎ was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ the following year.‎ Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me，” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.‎ He is a granddad to millions, in fact.‎ 语篇解读：本文介绍了IVF技术的发明者Edwards。‎ ‎24．What's the article mainly about?‎ A．The first testtube baby.‎ B．A new era in medicine.‎ C．The inventor of IVF technology.‎ D．The changes IVF technology has brought.‎ 解析：选C　主旨大意题。根据第三段“Edwards，the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology — more commonly known as ‘testtube (试管) baby’ technology — passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.”及下文内容可知文章主要讲的是IVF技术的发明者。故选C。‎ ‎25．The writer quoted Peter Braude to ________.‎ A．show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his work B．describe what kind of person Edwards was ‎ C．explain why he is loved by all children D．comment on his achievement 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据文章第四段 Peter Braude 所说的话“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，”“He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards改变了数百万普通人的生活，这些人因拥有了自己的孩子而高兴不已，他让这个世界更美好。根据句意可知引用的话是对Edwards成就的高度评价。故选D。‎ ‎26．The underlined word “opposition” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”．‎ A．attack B．support C．test D．influence 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句“Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media，not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.”以及下文提到了同事的攻击(attacks)，说明opposition的意思和“攻击”(attack)是相似的。故选A。‎ ‎27．What is the correct order of events in Edwards' life?‎ a．He received a Nobel Prize.‎ b．He struggled to raise funds.‎ c．The first testtube baby was born.‎ d．He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.‎ e．He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.‎ f．He started his experiments on IVF technology.‎ A．f－e－b－c－a－d B．f－b－e－c－d－a C．f－b－e－c－a－d D．f－e－d－a－c－b 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据短文的时间线索可知先是f开始实验，然后b筹集资金，然后e成功，然后c第一个试管婴儿出现，然后a得到诺贝尔奖，最后d受嘉奖，故选C。‎ C Public libraries have had another bad year. They are like local railways. People like having them around, and are angry if they close. But as for using them, there is so little time these days.‎ To the US historian Matthew Battles the library ‎ is a metaphor (隐喻) for the land of chance, a place where, lost in the piles, new Americans could “dream of personal success, unaided by unnamed others, a stage with a mirror for backdrop (背景幕布) that reflects only the reader”. In Britain, the library was a grammar school, a teachyourself academy, a way of learning.‎ Digitization has changed everything. The public library is no longer a place sacred to knowledge. Its walls have been bombed open. So much rubbish is said and written about the death of books. Five years ago, when Amazon ebook sales were higher than those of paperback copies, it was assumed the book was dying. Print was yesterday, one more victim of the great digital wipeout. But Waterstones last year stopped selling Kindles and changed the shelf space to physical books. It saw a 5% rise in sales. Though the bookshop has suffered, the book has not.‎ But these are buyers, not borrowers. The library must rediscover its specialness. This strength lies not in books, but in its readers, in their desire to gather, share with each other, hear writers and experience books with a group. It is in plays, concerts, comedy, lectures, debates, quizzes, performances of every sort. It should combine coffee shops, book exchanges, playgroups, art galleries, museums and performances.‎ Ever since the days of Alexandria, the library has been the palace of the mind, the “University of All”. The Internet has removed its complete control of knowledge, but cannot copy its sense of place, its joy of human gathering.‎ 语篇解读：本文是议论文。文章讨论了图书馆的数量虽然减少了，借书的人少了，但是书却并没有消失。‎ ‎28．What is stressed by mentioning Matthew Battles?‎ A．The meaning of the American Dream.‎ B．The role of libraries in Americans' life.‎ C．The things people can learn in a library.‎ D．The decrease in the number of libraries.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Matthew Battles强调了图书馆是机会之地，人们可以在图书馆中寻求自己的个人成功等，说明了图书馆对于人们的影响。‎ ‎29．What did people use to think about books?‎ A．Digital technology left books dying.‎ B．A lot of books were becoming rubbish.‎ C．Physical books took up too much space.‎ D．Books in libraries were better than ebooks.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So much rubbish is said and written about the death of books. Five years ago, when Amazon ebook sales were higher than those of paperback copies, it was assumed the book was dying”可知，过去人们认为数字技术的出现，使得实体书快要灭亡了。‎ ‎30．How can the library gain its popularity again?‎ A．By offering readers better books.‎ B．By holding live events for readers.‎ C．By buying more books to fill its shelves.‎ D．By providing relaxed atmosphere for readers.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，在数字时代，图书馆要想重新恢复它是知识代表的称号，需要举办各种现场活动。‎ ‎31．What might be the most suitable title for the text?‎ A．Libraries are dying but not for books B．Libraries will have no physical books C．Libraries are not about books any more D．Libraries play new roles in modern times 解析：选A　标题归纳题。本文主要讨论了随着数字技术的发展，图书馆的作用似乎越来越小了，但是书并没有消亡。‎ D ‎(2018·湖南郴州模拟)Urban air pollution is a huge public health issue — it kills more than 3 million people every year, according to the latest World Health Organization estimation.‎ As cities from Beijing to Paris to Sydney focus on reducing car traffic as a way to improve air quality, the city of Amsterdam is really ahead of the pack. In about 10 years, gaspowered cars in the city will be banned. Their bus fleet will be powered by solar and wind by 2025.‎ While changes in major transportation and infrastructure (基础设施) take time, researchers at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands are testing a more immediate solution: a new type of honeysuckle (金银花) called Green Junkie.This new honeysuckle is bred to consume more carbon dioxide — in other words, it eats smog.‎ ‎“The parts of a plant that pick up air pollution out of the air are the ‘hairs’， so what they've changed for this honeysuckle is that they've made it very, very hairy，” Emily Parry from AMS Institute, told Fastcoexist. The leaves of the plant are bigger and hairier than typical honeysuckle, and they grow more quickly, too. And it's fed with a special organic fertilizer made from plant waste collected from the city.‎ It makes sense that plants would be hybridized (杂交) for pollution cleanup of a special kind. Many plants absorb so much pollution — so that NASA has long promoted a list of those that can keep indoor air cleaner — and many homeowners choose plants that are particularly good ‎ at doing so. Some grasses and ivies are already used in traffic medians and roadsides specially because they can reduce particulate pollution (颗粒污染) by up to 60 percent.‎ 语篇解读：研究表明，一种新型的金银花因其叶子上的毛能吸收二氧化碳而成为减轻空气污染的新宠儿！‎ ‎32．By mentioning the solutions of some cities in the second paragraph, the author wants to express ________.‎ A．reducing car traffic is an effective way to improve air quality B．cars will be powered by solar and wind by 2025‎ C．their solutions don't have a quick effect on air pollution D．gaspowered cars give off a lot of carbon dioxide 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，北京、巴黎、悉尼及阿姆斯特丹为减轻空气污染采取了一系列措施，但收效甚微。由此可推测，旧的减轻空气污染的措施耗时太久，不能快速改善空气质量。故选C项。‎ ‎33．Which part of the new honeysuckle can take in smog?‎ A．Hairs. B．Flowers.‎ C．Roots. D．Waste.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The parts of a plant that pick up air pollution out of the air are the ‘hairs’ ...”可知，新型的金银花上的毛能吸收污染的空气。故选A项。‎ ‎34．Compared with typical honeysuckle, the new honeysuckle ________.‎ A．can grow more slowly B．need animal waste to grow C．can grow larger and hairier leaves D．can reduce more smog by up to 60 percent 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The leaves of the plant are bigger and hairier than typical honeysuckle, and they grow more quickly, too.”可知，这种新型的金银花的叶子长得更大、有更多毛。故选C项。‎ ‎35．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．A Huge Public Health Issue B．Is Smog More and More Terrible?‎ C．Cars Powered by Solar and Wind D．Can a Flower Help Cities Reduce Air Pollution?‎ 解析：选D　标题归纳题。根据全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种新型的金银花因其叶子上的毛能吸收二氧化碳而成为减轻空气污染的新宠儿，故选D项。‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ History is a record of what has happened in the past.__36__ The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again.It allows us to learn from the past, both the mistakes made and the successes achieved.‎ One of the benefits of history is reading how other people both famous and totally unknown have overcome tremendous challenges in their life. These challenges, although particular to a person, or to a certain time in the past, or occurring in a different country or culture, all convey the same thing.__37__‎ ‎__38__ He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the modern day light bulb.He could be held out as an example of a person who never gave up.__39__ However, he did not let those failures stop him.He had a dream and he just kept trying different things ‎ until he did reach success.‎ Or, consider the story of Abraham Lincoln who managed to become President of the United States even though he suffered many setbacks and personal losses.Most of us only realize the success of Mr.Lincoln becoming President.__40__ His life was not an easy one.His story is one that motivates us to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we have in life.‎ A．History has a lot of influence on us.‎ B．Take for example the story of Thomas Edison.‎ C．History has some very unique qualities about it.‎ D．I am sure he was discouraged by his many failures.‎ E．They convey wisdom in their short stories of perseverance.‎ F．Few of us knew about the many challenges he had to overcome.‎ G．Only those with courage to face challenges can hope to live their dreams.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。讲述历史对我们的生活的指导作用。‎ ‎36．解析：选C　根据上一句“History is a record of what has happened in the past.”及空后的“The really fascinating thing is that ...”可知选C。‎ ‎37．解析：选E　根据空前内容可知，虽然对于某个人、对于过去某个特定的时间或者对于发生在一个不同国家与文化的事情来说，这些挑战是很独特的，但都传达相同的内容。这里承接上文，故选E。‎ ‎38．解析：选B　根据下文中的“He encountered many failures while on the road to finally inventing the modern day light bulb.”可知选B。‎ ‎39．解析：选D　根据空后的“However, he did not let those failures stop him.”知选D项。‎ ‎40．解析：选F　根据上文提到“Most of us only realize the success of Mr. Lincoln becoming President.”可知，许多人只看到林肯成为总统的成功，却很少有人知道他是如何克服这些困难的。故选F。‎
