    Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.

In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.

21.Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?

A.She couldn’t get admitted to medical school.

B.She decided to further her education in Paris.

C.A serious eye problem stopped her.

D.It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.

22.What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?

A.She was a woman.

B.She wrote too many letters.

A.became the first woman physician

B.was the first woman doctor

C.and several other women founded the first hospital for women and children

D.set up the first medical school for women

B

All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.

My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows ,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

We have all become busy persons.

24.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A.She enjoyed removing others’ drinks.                           B.She became more and more forgetful.

C.She preferred to do everything by herself.                   D.She wanted to keep her house in good order.

26.The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.

A.is happy to clean windows   B.loves to clean used windows

C.is fond of clean used windows   D.likes clean windows as my mother did

27.This passage mainly tells us that _______.

B.my family members had a poor memory

C.my mother helped us to form a good habit

D.my wife was surprised when she visited my mother

C

    While most consumers wish to reduce plastic waste, it’s not an easy goal to achieve. That’s because the cheap and long-lived material is found in almost every daily necessity. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious solution.

David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says after investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for containers, seaweed does not require water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball field. Since Indonesian farmers harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s easy to find the material.

The seaweed packaging is safe to consume and can entirely dissolve（溶解）in hot water. While the eatable wrappers（包装纸）may not have any taste, Dubbed Ello Jello, the single-use cups invented by Evoware, are available in four tastes—orange, lychee, peppermint, and green tea. The best part? You can order the powder and make them at home! Though currently(目前) they cannot stand hot liquids, Evoware is working on making heat-resistant（耐热的）cups as well.

While the seaweed products seem like a perfect replacement, it’s a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. However, Evoware believes they can reduce the price once the company moves to mass production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing people worldwide that switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful planet.

28.How does seaweed differ from corn?

A.It sells better. B.It’s less expensive.

C.It takes less labor to process. D.It needs less resources to grow.

29.What nature do seaweed wrappers have?

A.They melt in cold water. B.They are easy to break down.

C.They can only be made at home. D.They can resist heat.

30.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Evoware’s current cups B.Plastic containers

C.Heat-resistant cups. D.Eatable packaging.

31.What can we infer from Christian’s words in the last paragraph?

A.The price of plastics will go down.

B.Indonesians care little about the planet.

C.It takes much effort to promote the new product.

D.The seaweed products need much improvement.

 China's box office numbers continue to grow rapidly. It is estimated that the revenues( 收入) may pass the U. S. market's as soon as this year. However, this cinematic party could be over just as it's getting started. Some companies are working to convince consumers that the ultimate viewing experience is not on the big screen.

Instead, it's on the small ones that are already in their pockets-thanks to the technology of virtual reality.

Already,VR experience centers are popping up in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. They give customers the opportunity to watch VR movies or play VR games for about the same price as a discount movie ticket. Online video sites, meanwhile, are also moving into the VR field. Some of them, like Youku, have launched(推出) their own VR apps and channels.

China has more than 700 million smartphone users. A large percentage of them are already more than willing to download and watch TV shows and even full-length movies on their handsets. This potentially makes them more likely to embrace VR content than Americans and Europeans.

But in fact, it's not just Chinese companies and video websites that believe VR will pull viewers away from movie theaters. International production companies that, for years, have made block busters (大片) for cinema audiences are also warning that disruptive change is around the corner.

Maureen Fan, chief executive of the Silicon Valley VR start-up Baobab Studios, after bringing her company's animated VR short Invasion to the Shanghai International Film Festival last year, concluded that the field had been evolving much more rapidly than she expected. "What I thought would take ten years has happened in one or two," she said. However, she also noted that the industry needs more people who can create great stories to move VR beyond a niche product(小众产品 ) and into the mass market. "The technology is already there. What continues to be lacking is good content," Fan said. "There's a certain amount, but we would love to see more."

32.What is the main idea of the article?

A. China's box office numbers might see a slight decline in the coming years.

B. People don't need to mind their manners when watching VR movies.

C. Movie theaters in China will be increasingly challenged by virtual reality.

D. More and more Chinese online video sites have had their own VR channels.

33.According to the article, Chinese people might be readier for VR movies than Westerners because .

A. China's box office numbers have been growing faster than those in the West

B. more Chinese people have experienced virtual reality than Westerners

C. China has been more supportive of the development of VR than Western countries

D. more Chinese people have been watching shows on handsets than Westerners

34.According to the article, it could be hard for VR movies to move into the mass market until

A. VR movies become available in theaters

B. online video sites launch more VR channels

C. VR experience centers appear in smaller cities

D. there is a larger amount of good content

35.Which of the following statements would Maureen Fan probably agree with?

A. VR movies will completely replace traditional movies sooner or later.

B. Virtual reality has been experiencing an enormous development.

C. Content matters more than technology when it comes to making movies.

D. The West will catch up with China in terms of the development of VR.

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。

    Parents often say that they don't mind what their children do in life just as long as they are happy. Happiness and pleasure are almost universally seen as among the most precious human goods.36.

Philosopher Jeremy Bentham believed that all sources of pleasure are of equal quality, but John Stuart Mill disagreed. Mill argued for a difference between higher and lower pleasure.37.Lower pleasure, in contrast, requires mere (仅仅的；纯粹的) senses.

The entire debate assumes a clear divide between the physical and the mental.38.What will it mean for our ideas about pleasure?

39.Food is usually considered to be the lower pleasure. All animals eat, using the senses of smell and taste. It doesn't require any complex cognition (认知) to conclude that something is delicious. However, these people failed to appreciate something that the French food writer Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin captured. That is, "Animals feed; man eats; only the man of intellect(才智) knows how to eat."

Eating shows that the difference between higher pleasure and lower pleasure is not what you enjoy but how you enjoy it.40.Preparing it using the powers of reflection and attention turns it into a higher pleasure.

A. The dining table is a good place to start.

B. Wolfing down your food is a lower kind of pleasure.

C. What's the real difference between high and low pleasure?

D. What happens if the physical and the mental cannot be separated?

E. All philosophers believed that cookery could never be a form of art.

F. Higher pleasure depends on human abilities such as self-awareness or language use.

G. However, disagreements will be caused about whether some forms of pleasure are better than others.

I am honored to stand here to tell you something about the future transportation in English. Take me for example, I usually go to school by bike, which is fast and convenient. What will the future transportation be like? My ideal vehicle is below.

Firstly ,My  ideal vehicle is a “flying bike”that is equipped with two wings and  a motor with solar energy. When people are caught in traffic jam, the kind of bike will spread its folded wings to fly in the sky, avoiding heavy traffic. Secondly, it must be made of light metals and carried easily from one place to another.

    Improved means of transportation will benefit everyone. Not only does it bring us more convenience but also reduces the environmental pollution. The most important is that our lifestyle will be changed better.
