AMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia(白血病) because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.21. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?A．Because she received a degree in mathematics.B．Because she contributed to saving the wounded.C．Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.D．Because she worked as a helper to her mother.22. Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?A．At the Curie Institute. B．At the University of Paris.C．At a military hospital. D．At the College of Sévigné.23. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother? A．Irene worked with radioactivity.B．Irene combined family and career.C．Irene won the Nobel Prize once.D．Irene died from leukemia.BIt was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods．The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull．Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him．But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim．For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull．Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced．Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me．In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning．“I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom．“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone.I gave in and we set out．On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly．Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back．Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still．We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”．And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad．She’s been one of my best friends over the years．24. What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?A．Funny．B．Interesting．C．Doubtful．D．Believable．25. What’s the second problem the author has to face?A．His mother insisted on his cousin going with him．B．His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school．C．He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache．D．His mother failed to ask permission for him．26. What does the author think of Elsie in the end?A．Aggressive．B．Unkind．C．Bad-tempered．D．Friendly．27. What’s the passage mainly about?A．The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s farm．B．The story of visiting the swimming hole．C．How friendly the so-called mean bull was．D．How the author changed his attitude to Joanie．CI am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with．Born into a Ch inese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I c an think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, inc luding people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker．I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．28. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．A．she is a writer by professionB．she is fascinated by languagesC．she works as a translatorD．she uses English in foreign trade29. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A．Americans do not understand broken English．B．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts．C．The author’s mother had positive influence on her．D．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes．30. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____．A．well structured B．rich in meaningC．in the old style D．easy to translate31. What is the passage mainly about?A．The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English．B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother．C．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English．D．The author’s experi ences of using broken English．DBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred．While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke．When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be．I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got．The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it．For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you w ill probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him．In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke．I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh．All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot．32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A．Only good jokes make people laughB．Many factors lead to people laughing．C．Funny things can make people laughD．Laughter can make people healthy．33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A．They played a trick on the pedestrians．B．The pedestrians behaved in a funny way．C．They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness．D．Their emotion was approved of by the show．34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?A．AnnoyB．BlameC．Look down onD．Make up to35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）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。
