Professor Strickland is one of the recipients( 受领者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD supervisor at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created.‎ Professor Donna Strickland is only the third woman ever to have won a Nobel Prize in physics. She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called ground-breaking inventions in laser physics. Professor Strickland devised a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools. Millions of eye operations are performed every year with these sharpest of laser beams.‎ ‎---“How surprising do you think it is that you’re the third woman to win this prize? ”‎ ‎---“Well, that is surprising, isn’t it? I think that’s the story of Maria that people want to talk about --- that why should it take 60 years? There are so many ‎ women out there doing fantastic research, so why does it take so long to get recognized? ”‎ Physics still has one of the largest gender gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rates it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.‎ The last woman to win a physics Nobel was German-born Maria Goeppert-Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre. This year’s winners hope that breaking this half century hiatus will mean the focus in future will be on the research, rather than the gender of the researcher.‎ ‎24. Which of the following best explains “ground-breaking” underlined in Paragraph 2?‎ A. active B. talented C. creative D. awesome ‎25. What do we know about Professor Strickland’s achievement?‎ A. She created the most intense laser pulses by herself.‎ B. She advocated equality between man and women.‎ C. She discovered the nuclei of atoms with her husband.‎ D. She invented a way of using lasers as accurate cutting tools .‎ ‎26. When was the second Nobel Prize in physics awarded to woman?‎ A. in 1963 B. in 1985 C. in 1903 D. in 1958‎ ‎27. What can be inferred from the statements in paragraph 4 ?‎ A. Woman’s achievements in physics are as great as man’s.‎ B. Woman’s achievements in physics are more and more fantastic.‎ C. Maria’s discoveries resulted from her long time research.‎ D. Gender discrimination still exists in the field of science research.‎ ‎【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。斯特里克兰德教授是2018年诺贝尔物理学奖的获得者之一。她是第三个获得诺贝尔物理学奖的女性。女人在物理方面的成就越来越了不起。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第二段中She and her fellow winners were honored for what the Nobel Committee called ground-breaking inventions in laser physics.“她和其他获奖者因诺贝尔委员会所称激光物理学的突破性发明而获奖。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“具有创造力的”。故选C。‎ ‎【25题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中Professor Strickland devised a way to use lasers as very precise drilling or cutting tools.“斯特里克兰德教授发明了一种利用激光作为非常精确的钻孔或切割工具的方法。”可知，她发明了一种利用激光作为精确切割工具的方法。故选D。‎ ‎【26题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中Professor Strickland is one of the recipients( 受领者) of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 with Gérard Mourou, her PhD supervisor at the time.“斯特里克兰德教授是2018年诺贝尔物理学奖的获得者之一，当时她的博士导师杰拉德·穆鲁(Gerard Mourou)也在该奖之列。”第三段中that why should it take 60 years?“那为什么要花60年?”和第四段中The last woman to win a physics Nobel was German-born Maria Goeppert-Mayer for her discoveries about the nuclei of atoms. Before that it was Marie Curie, who shared the 1903 prize with her husband, Pierre.“上一位获得诺贝尔物理学奖的女性是出生于德国的玛丽亚·格佩特-梅耶尔(Maria Goeppert-Mayer)，她因发现原子核而获奖。在此之前，玛丽居里(Marie Curie)和丈夫皮埃尔(Pierre)共同获得1903年诺贝尔和平奖。”由此推知，第二个诺贝尔物理学奖是在1958年授予女性的。故选D。‎ ‎【27题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中Physics still has one of the largest gender gaps in science. One recent study concluded that at the current rates it would be more than two centuries until there were equal numbers of senior male and female researchers in the field.“物理学仍然是科学领域性别差距最大的学科之一。最近的一项研究得出的结论是，按照目前的速度，要过两个多世纪，这个领域才会有同等数量的资深男性和女性研究人员。”可知，女人在物理方面的成就越来越了不起。故选B。‎ C There are many programs for high school students today that help isolated ‎ teenagers cope with loneliness．However，loneliness is not only an issue for teens but also an important and rarely acknowledged one in the elderly．‎ In Britain，Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness．This is the first time such a position has been created．‎ In Britain，there are around 9 million people who say they are lonely frequently．In Germany，a study conducted by Ruhr University Bochum found that 20 percent of people over the age of 85 felt lonely，and 14 percent of those between age 45 and 65 felt socially isolated．In the United States，more than 25 percent of the population lives alone，more than 50 percent are unmarried．‎ Isolation is generally associated with cardiovascular disease，depression，obesity，and anxiety．Additionally，the stress from loneliness can cause your cells to change on a molecular(分子)level that reduces its abilities to defend your body against diseases．In fact，doctors believe having feelings of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day in regard to its impact on health!‎ In Britain，the new Minister of Loneliness will help establish government policies on the issue and fund charities to devote their efforts towards aiding loneliness．There are charities that link lonely seniors to high school students in order to give them a line of communication whenever they feel lonely!‎ The possibilities for the new Minister of Loneliness are endless．For example，she can provide education services to household businesses so that they can identify lonely customers if they see one．Loneliness fits into the category of being a social issue that must be monitored by the entire community in order to help those in need．Hence，government involvement in medical services and care for seniors and others is essential for happy seniors．‎ ‎28. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. UK becomes the capital of loneliness． B. Loneliness affects old people’s life．‎ C. Many teenagers suffer from loneliness． D. UK appoints Minister of Loneliness．‎ ‎29. How did the writer develop the third paragraph?‎ A. By listing some specific numbers．‎ B. By giving examples of lonely people．‎ C.

Opposite． D. Superior．‎ ‎31. What will the Minister of Loneliness do?‎ A. Do housework for lonely people．‎ B. Develop friendships with the elderly．‎ C. Help fund charities to aid lonely people．‎ D. Communicate with depressed school students．‎ ‎【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。孤独如传染病般肆虐于大街小巷，英国也不例外。于是，英国政府设置了一个听上去略显奇葩的新官职“孤独大臣”，希望能缓解这一现象。‎ ‎【28题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段In Britain，Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness．This is the first time such a position has been created.及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了为了解决人们的孤独问题，英国设立了一个特殊的官职，即“孤独大臣”。故选D。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，本段列举了大量的数据，从而推断出本段主要是以列数据的形式展开的。故选A。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段In fact，doctors believe having feelings of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day in regard to its impact on health!中的关键词its impact on ‎ health，在结合本句句意：事实上，医生们认为孤独感对人体健康的危害等同于每天吸食15支香烟。可以猜测equivalent为“相等的”之意。故选B。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段In Britain，the new Minister of Loneliness will help establish government policies on the issue and fund charities to devote their efforts towards aiding loneliness.可知，英国“孤独大臣”的工作包括资助慈善机构以帮助孤独的人。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出equivalent的含义，就是根据此句关键词its impact on health，在结合本句句意：事实上，医生们认为孤独感对人体健康的危害等同于每天吸食15支香烟,从而可以猜测出词义。‎ D Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain. His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help.‎ In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.‎ Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ”‎ First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions ‎ from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.‎ Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in real time, in less than a second, ” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.‎ ‎32. What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology?‎ A. Deaf-blind people’s poor life.‎ B. Their pity on the disabled people.‎ C. The challenges they face in work.‎ D. Their group’s previous research.‎ ‎33. Why can the electronic system collect TV information?‎ A. It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.‎ B. It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling.‎ C. It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.‎ D. It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.‎ ‎34. What does the author think of the future of the new technology?‎ A. Challenging. B. Bright. C. Rewarding. D. Hopeless.‎ ‎35. What should be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s Life B. A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s Life C. A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind People D. New Technology Helps Deaf-blind People “Watch” TV ‎【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一种新技术。这种新技术让聋哑人在电视播出时“观看”电视。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to ‎ “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group.“他的小组发明了一种让聋哑人“看”电视的新方法。这项技术的想法源于他的团队之前的工作。”可知，他们之前的研究激发了加西亚·克雷斯波的团队致力于这项新技术。故选D。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information,“该系统的关键是利用字幕收集电视信息的可能性”。可知，电子系统可以收集电视信息是因为它可以让带字幕的海浪移动。故选B。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.“目前，该系统仅在欧洲使用，很快将在美国推出。”可知，作者对新技术的未来是充满希望地。故选B。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available.“这让聋哑人在电视播出时“观看”电视。只要有蓝牙连接，该系统可以使用各种盲文线路。”可知，文章最佳主题是“新技术帮助聋哑人士“看”电视”。故选D。‎ 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Thanks to world-famous Colombian writer Garcia Marquez, many people think of Latin America as a land of magic. In his books, impossible things happen.‎ ‎___36___ It may come from the mix of different cultures and ethnicities (种族) in Latin America. Although some of these differences have caused conflicts, they have also been a source of beauty, as well as encouraged people in Latin America to be more open-minded.‎ Latin America includes more than 30 countries and areas located south of the United States in the American continent.

There are different types of colour blindness and there are extremely rare cases ___64___ people are unable to see any colour at all. The ___65___(common) form of colour blindness is red/green colour blindness.

I opened it but was shocked to see every card I had ever written to her. The impact of a moment stayed with me all my life.
