If you are looking for recommendations on biographies (传记) that will educate you, comedies that will make your belly ache or stories that present the unique challenges women face every day, read on.
“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
A classic that never gets old. Set in rural England in the early 19th century, this tale centers around the Bennet family, a family of five daughters and their two parents who are desperate to find at least one of the daughters a wealthy match. Austen’s story focuses on the tension between marrying for love instead of just for power and fame, and also the unique pressure on women to find financial security by way of marriage at the time.
“Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World” by Rachel Ignotofsky
It is a sweetly illustrated and educational book that highlights the contributions of 50 women in the fields of technology, science, engineering and mathematics, from present day all the way back to 360 AD.

“Becoming” by Michelle Obama
We wouldn’t be able to write this list without including Michelle Obama’s memoir. “Becoming” has the former FLOTUS discussing her childhood, family, motherhood, her own FLOTUS impact, the pressures of being part of the first Black family in the White House and balancing her public life now.

“Meet me in the conference room with the contracts and a cup of coffee,” my boss barked at me. “Ten minutes.”
I didn’t respond. I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.
I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.
I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.
I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.
“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.
When I finally left my boss’office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.
24. Why does the author mention the Wilsons
A. To show how the couple grew old together.
B. To picture what she will be like when she ages.
C. To stress her opposition to inequality in society.
D. To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee.
25. What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss
A. She meant to share instead of serving.
B. She planned to have the boss serve her later.
C. She intended to play a trick on her mean boss.
D. She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again.
26. What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragraph
A. Amused. B. Shocked. C. Depressed. D. Excited.
27. What can we learn about the author from the text
A. She figured out how to show respect for her superior.
B. She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.
C. She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.
D. She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.
C
Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple (主食), could be a new super food and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. “This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development,” said a university professor in Awasa, Ethiopia.
Enset, or “false banana”, is a close relative of the banana but is consumed only in one part of Ethiopia. The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible (无法食用的), but the stems and roots can be processed to make porridge and bread.
However, Ethiopia is isolated by dry lowlands, which are unsuitable for enset to grow. And the procedures for enset raising and preparing require special knowledge. Therefore, despite its wild relatives distributing across Africa, enset is only used as a crop in Ethiopia and has never been widely adopted elsewhere.
Using agricultural surveys and modelling work, scientists found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries.
Study researcher Dr James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, said planting enset as an alterative crop for tough times could help support food security. “It’s got some really unusual characteristics that make it absolutely unique as a crop,” he said. Reaching ten meters tall, as few as 15 enset plants can feed a person for a year. Also, it has flexible harvest times, stores well, and is relatively drought and disease tolerant. All these features have earned it the name, “the tree against hunger”.
There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species-rice, wheat, and corns. “We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a staple because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment,” said Dr Borrell.
28. What can we know about enset
A. It is widely consumed in Ethiopia.
B. Its stems and roots can serve as a staple.
C. It is mainly grown in dry lowlands.
D. It distributes throughout the world.
29. What affects the wide adoption of enset
A. Lack of related knowledge. B. Poor quality of farmland.
C. Low productivity. D. Strict storage condition.
30. Which aspect of enset is talked about in paragraph 5
A. Its advantages. B. Its edibility. C. Its variety. D. Its distribution.
31. What does Dr Borrell mean in the last paragraph
A. People are fed up with existing staples.
B. A world of biodiversity is needed.
C. Crop varieties should be increased.
D. Food security has been addressed.
D
DNA testing is one of modern medicine’s most significant breakthroughs. Today, anyone can receive personalized information about their genes and ancestry with just a little saliva (唾液). Now, a Seattle-based company is working to bring equally deep analysis to the trillions of proteins within our bodies.
Nautilus Biotechnology, a company founded in 2016 by Seattle’s Sujal Patel and the San Francisco Bay Area’s Parag Mallick, is developing a device to identify and count 95% of the different types of proteins in a biological sample.
Human cells can contain roughly 20,000 different types of proteins, with crucial functions ranging from digestion to disease protection. Each cell has a varying amount of each protein. The company wants to measure the key machinery inside cells with a level of detail that has never been done before. Existing tools, it says, can only measure up to 8% of the different types of proteins in blood samples.
So why count proteins at all Research shows healthy cells and diseased cells have differing amounts and forms of each protein. For example, cancer cells may have more of Protein A than Protein B. Knowing that might help in two ways: First, doctors could look for higher Protein A levels to detect cancer early. Second, researchers could better design drugs to target Protein A.
Nautilus says such protein measurements, which are unique to every person and change throughout people’s lives, will not only help doctors identify more specific forms of disease but also help pharmaceutical companies find more precise drugs with fewer side effects. While other companies also are building new protein analysis machines, experts and prospective customers have expressed excitement over Nautilus’s approach. Mallick, chief scientist of Nautilus and the brain behind its technology, is confident: “It’s not every day when you get... to work on something. That’s the opportunity to change all of biology.”
32. What is the Seattle-based company doing
A. Trying to count the amounts of blood cells
B. Examining DNA for personalized information.
C. Developing a device to analyze people’s proteins.
D. Revealing more about our ancestry with DNA testing.
33. What makes the invention of the device possible
A. Precise drugs are guaranteed.
B. Cell analysis techniques develop fast.
C. Proteins are much easier to be analyzed.
D. Protein amounts and forms vary from cell to cell.
34. In which area will the device be helpful
A. Disease monitoring and machine design.
B. Disease detection and drug development.
C. Disease prevention and targeted treatment.
D. Disease treatment and side effect prevention.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Combining DNA Testing with Protein Analysis
B. Setting a New Example of Medical Solution
C. Creating Opportunities for Changing Biology
D. Analyzing Proteins for New Medical Breakthrough

Most people are talking especially about snow camping when they mention winter camping.
37 . In areas with snow, campers can go skiing, climbing, or ice skating. And some people enjoy creating fun things from snow, or just horsing around in the snow. And a camping trip often requires hiking, although campers generally travel less far than they do in the summer.
There are many well-known places suitable for camping. Throughout the year, these places usually attract more campers in the summer. So, it can be more crowded in this season. Campers who don’t like a crowded place can instead choose to go camping there in the winter. 38 .
But colder weather means more preparation. Winter campers should be sure that they have clothes which can keep them warm. 39 Besides, campers need to bring good tents and enough food. Other camping tools like cookstoves are also necessary.
While winter camping can be quite fun, the colder weather can make a camping trip more dangerous. 40 . Winter campers should always check on weather reports before they leave.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I felt the string of the package softly and then, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I tore it open. It was a bright, brand new laptop. I had scored straight as for my O level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about ‘chat rooms’, ‘instant messaging’ and ‘e-mailing’, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became attracted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became addicted to Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me. Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites, I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed, I realized that I was addicted to the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I made friends with on the Internet although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing on the Internet. Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
