【题目】阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
During a trip to New York City, Alabama woman Mary Anderson 【1】 (notice) a trolley driver couldn’t see well when it was snowing. At that point, drivers had to open the window 【2】 (clear) it, letting snow and rain into the vehicle. As a solution, Anderson designed and patented wood and rubber arms 【3】 would push rain and snow off the window at the pull of a lever (控制杆). But she was told her 【4】 (invent) was distracting and impractical, and she never profited from her design.
【答案】
【1】noticed
【2】to clear
【3】that/which
【4】invention
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。该段落主要描写了Mary Anderson发明汽车挡风玻璃雨刮器，但被认为是不切实际的发明。
【1】考查时态。句意：在去纽约的旅途中，阿拉巴马州的妇女玛丽·安德森注意到一名电车司机在下雪时看不清东西。根据前一句“During a trip to New York City,在去纽约的路上…”可知notice这个动作是过去发生的，要使用一般过去时。故填noticed。
【2】考查不定式。句意：就在那时，司机不得不打开窗户去清理它。根据句意可知，打开窗户的目的是“清理”，即使用不定式做目的状语。故填to clear。
【3】考查定语从句。句意：作为解决方法，Anderson设计了一个木质的橡胶手臂并申请专利，这个手臂可以通过控制杆将车窗上的雨和雪推掉。该句为定语从句，先行词为wood and rubber arms，并在从句中做主语，应由关系代词that\which引导。故填that\which.
【4】考查名词。句意：但是她被告知她的发明会分散司机注意力，不切实际。本题中invite前为形容词性物主代词her，其后要接名词，所以将invent变为invention。故填invention。

【题目】 The Intelligent Plant. That is the title of a recent article in The New Yorker, and new research is showing that plants have surprising abilities to sense and react to the world.
But can a plant be intelligent? Some plant scientists insist they are since they can sense, learn, remember and even react in ways that would be familiar to humans.
Michael Pollan, author of “The Botany of Desire,” says for the longest time, people who have long talked to their plants or played music for them were being considered “mad.”
The new research, he says, is in a field called plant neurobiology(神经生物学), which is not a proper name, because even scientists in the field don’t argue that plants have neurons(神经) or brains.
“They have analogous structures as humans,” Pollan explains. “Plants have all the same senses as humans. They have ways of taking all the sensory data they gather in their everyday lives, integrate it and then behave in an appropriate way in response.” In addition to hearing, taste, for example, they can sense gravity, the presence of water, or even feel that an obstacle(障碍物) is in the way of its roots, before coming into contact with it. Plant roots will change direction, he says, to avoid obstacles.
So what about pain? Do plants feel? Pollan says they do respond to anesthetics (麻醉剂). “You can put a plant out with a human anesthetic. And not only that, plants produce their own compounds that are anesthetic to us.” But scientists are unwilling to go as far as to say they are responding to pain.
How plants sense and react is still somewhat unknown. They don’t have nerve cells like humans, but they do have a system for sending electrical signals and even produce neurotransmitters (神经递质) and other chemicals the human brain uses to send signals.
【1】Why does the author mention the article The Intelligent Plant in the first paragraph?
A.To support his opinion.B.To introduce the topic.
C.To give an example.D.To make comparison.
【2】People who usually talked to their plants would be thought .
A.Intelligent.B.Crazy.C.Patient.D.Comforting.
【3】What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Simple.B.False.C.Flexible.D.Similar.
【4】What can we learn about plants according to the last two paragraphs?
A.Plants can feel and react to pain.B.Plants send two kinds of signals.
C.Plants are able to sense and react.D.Plants have their own brains.

【题目】 In the winter of 1910, Dr. Wu Lien-Teh stepped off a train in the northern Chinese city of Harbin. He was there to solve a medical mystery, at great personal risk. Over the past few months, an unknown disease had swept along the railways of northeast China, killing 99.9% of its victims. The Qing Imperial court had sent the Cambridge-educated Dr. Wu north to stop the epidemic.
When Dr Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried little in the way of medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu' s first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine(隔离) units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease. He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.
Thanks to Dr. Wu's efforts, the number of plague victims began to die down, and by March 1, 1911, the epidemic was fully contained. The pneumonic (肺炎的) plague outbreak of 1910-1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr. Wu, it could have been much worse. Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.
In April 1911, Dr. Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended by scientists from 11 counties including the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan and France. They praised Dr. Wu for his handling of the 1910-1911 outbreak. For a time, Dr. Wu was the world's most famous plague fighter, a title be defended in a malaria epidemic in China in 1919, and a return of plague in 1921.
【1】What was Dr Wu's mission in 1910?
A.To take personal risk.
B.To end an epidemic.
C.To provide medical education.
D.To investigate the number of victims.
【2】Which of Dr Wu's acts stopped the disease from spreading nationwide?
A.Setting up special quarantine units around the country.
B.Treating infected persons with his medical instruments.
C.Checking households himself for possible cases.
D.Convincing authorities to close the railways.
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.The disease worsened after Mach 1, 1911.
B.60,000 would have died without Dr Wu's efforts.
C.A global health crisis followed the 1910-1911 outbreak.
D.The plague broke out again about 10 years later.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.A Plague Fighter
B.A Global Health Crisis
C.The Beginning of the Chinese Public Health System
D.A Plague Outbreak

【题目】 At a young age, Patti Wilson was told by her doctor that she was an epileptic (癫痫病患者). Her father, Jim Wilson, is a morning jogger. She ran with her father every day. After a few weeks, she told her father, “Daddy, what I’d really love to do is to break the world’s long-distance running record for women.” Her father checked the Guinness World Records and found that the farthest any woman had run was 80 miles.
As a freshman in high school, Patti announced, “I’m going to run from Orange County up to San Francisco.”(A distance of 400 miles.) “As a sophomore (二年级学生),” she went on, “I’m going to run to Portland, Oregon.”(Over 1,500-miles.) “As a junior, I’ll run to St. Louis.”(About 2,000 miles.) “As a senior, I’ll run to the White House.”(More than 3,000 miles away.)
In view of her handicap (缺陷), Patti was as ambitious as she was enthusiastic, but she said she looked at the handicap of being an epileptic as simply “an inconvenience”. She focused not on what she had lost, but on what she had left.
That year she completed her run to San Francisco wearing a T-shirt that read, “I Love Epileptics.” In her sophomore year, Patti’s classmates got behind her. They built a large poster that read — “Run, Patti, Run!”
On her second marathon (马拉松), a doctor told her she had to stop. “Doctor, you don’t understand,” she said. “I’m doing it to break the chains on the brains that limit so many others.”
She finished the run to Portland, completing her last mile with the governor of Oregon. After four months of almost continuous running from the West Coast to the East Coast, Patti arrived in Washington and shook the hand of the then President of the United States. She told him, “I wanted people to know that epileptics are normal human beings with normal lives.”
Because of Patti’s efforts, enough money had been raised to open up 19 multi-million-dollar epileptic centers around the country. If Patti Wilson can do so much with so little, what can you do to outperform (超越) yourself in a state of total wellness?
【1】How did Patti look at her illness?
A.She thought of it as a gift.
B.She devoted all her attention to it.
C.She faced it with discouragement.
D.She considered it a small difficulty.
【2】What did Patti do when a doctor asked her to stop her run?
A.She continued without quitting.
B.She focused on her treatment.
C.She followed his advice.
D.She asked for her classmates’ assistance.
【3】Why did the author ask the question in the last paragraph?
A.To ask readers to answer it.
B.To get inactive people to run.
C.To encourage deep thinking.
D.To show his view on success.
