have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your forward path.Thus,these have come to be my rules for success.1That might sound proud,but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you.It’s like playing any game.Even as a child,I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was.If you win,it gives you no pleasure.And in the game of science or life,the highest goal isn’t simply to win;it’s to win at something really difficult.2Take risks.To make a huge success,a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble.If you are going to make a huge jump in science,you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition.3 This can be more than personally upsetting.Never do anything that bores you.My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things,and then leaves you alone.I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike.4It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists,because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you.And you have to chat with your competitors,even if you find them objectionable.So my final rule is: 5A.Meet challenges with great courage.B.If you can’t stand being with your real peers,get out of science.C.Put another way,it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.D.Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.E.Avoid foolish people.F.In fact,I find it hard to do well in something I like.G.Besides,you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.参考答案Section B Learning About Language Ⅰ.1.thinking2.findings3.initially4.theoretical5.infections6.to blame7.into8.proofⅡ.1.deal with2.make sense3.got down to

,otherwise the crops will die.答案:Thanks to the heavy rain三、阅读理解AGovernors,lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists,and every educated person finds his views affected by science.Yet our science teaching of non-scientists,in school and college,has built up mistaken ideas,dislikes,and the common boast,“I never did understand science.” Even those students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science:some have a collection of unorganised facts about science,and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information.The second,from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student’s understanding but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式).Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists.Neither shows students how real scientists work and think,how the facts are gathered,how discoveries are made,and what they mean.Young people need good teaching of science,not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science.They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work.Given these,it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.1.One of the reasons that can cause mistaken ideas of science is due to .A.a mistaken picture in students’ mindB.the unscientific way of teaching scienceC.the fact that students fail to see the influence of scienceD.the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science答案:B解析:细节理解题。

But it doesn’t end with bottles,cans,and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源) to make,and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment.So what to do with all thoseperfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 1 .It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes,score clothes from your friends,and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes,the organization of the event,and,obviously,how much fun is had.It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.·Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 2 ,and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that,and it becomes uncontrollable.· 3 .They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.·Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 4 .Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.One of the ground rules ofthe swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.·Set a starting time.Maybe you say “go” or turn on a cert ain song,or whatever. 5 .And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits.Remember,it’s a party!A.Less people than thatB.Hold a clothing swapC.If two people are competingD.Just keep music playing throughoutE.Donate whatever clothes are left overF.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spotsG.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition答案:1~5 BAGFD四、完形填空Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek.For them,there’s something highly eeone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.However,we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 2 at hiding.They often cover only their eyes with their hands,leaving the rest of their bodies 3 .For a long time,this ineffective hiding method was 4 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures.But our surprising research results in child developmental psychology 5 that idea.We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC.Each 6 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 7 .We then asked the child if she could see or hear the adult.Surprisingly,children replied that they couldn’t.The same 8 happened when the adult covered her own mouth:Now children said that they couldn’t 9 to her.A number of 10 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked.The results were clear:Our young subjects comprehended the questions and knew 11 what was asked of them.Their 12 to the questions reflected their true belief that “I can see you only if you can see me,too.” They simply 13 mutual(相互的) recognition and regard.Our 14 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head,it is not a result of egocentrism.In fact,children consider this method 15 when others use it.1.A.following B.takingC.escapingD.directing答案:C解析:根据常理可知,孩子们之所以喜欢玩“捉迷藏”的游戏,是因为当他们藏起来的时候,感觉自己能够躲避(escaping)寻找者的目光,所以非常紧张和刺激。

grandmother became increasingly forgetful.Over the next fewyears,those memory problems caused by early Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) worsened.Yang,who learned to code at an early age,decided to create an app to help.“I have personal experience with how the disease can affect not only the patient,but also family and friends.When I was about 11 or 12,I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world,” says Yang,who is now 14.In her app under development,calledTimeless,Alzheimer’s patients can scroll through (上下滚动) photos of friends and family,and the app will tell them who the people are and how they’re related to the patient.If a patient doesn’t recognize people in the same room,they can take a picture and the technology will also try to recognize them.The app also includes a simple contact screen that shows photos of family members along with names.If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly — something that can sometimes happen because of the disease — the app will show a quick reminder: “Are you sure you want to call?You just called less than five minutes ago.” A “me” page shows the patient’s own name,age,phone number,and address.The app is still in development,and Yang doesn’t yet have evidence that it will work.But she is optimistic that it can help,especially if introduced to someone in the early stages of the disease.Katherine Possin,an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center,agrees,“It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology,” Possin says.“But if somebody is in the early stages of the disease,and if the app is simple enough,it’s possible that they can learn to use it through repetition and practice.”24.Why did Emma Yang come up with the idea of creating the app?A.She decided to develop some codes.B.She suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.C.She was inspired by her grandma’s case.D.She wished to use technology to help people.25.According to

(Reuters)—Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert,who lives right on the Canadian border.Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15,crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.The nearby Quebec village of St.Pamphile is where they shop,eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US—which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result,Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada,as usual.The US customs(海关)station in this area is closed on Sundays,so he just drove around the locked gate,as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May,following a tightening of border security.Two days later,Albert was told to go to the customs office,where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed,but the US stopped a similar program last May.That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine,but he has not attendeda Sunday church since.“I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.28.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .A.an American living in Township 15B.a Canadian living in a Quebec villageC.a Canadian working in a customs stationD.an American

best title for the text?A.A Cross-country TripB.A Special Border PassC.An Unguarded BorderD.An Expensive Church VisitDExtinctions are seldom a cause for celebration.Humans are wiping out species at a frighteningrate,whether hunting them into history or,far more threateningly,damaging the habitats on which they depend.How,then,to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction far easier?That technology is known as a gene drive,so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population.Those characteristics need not be harmful:they might become stronger against disease among crops or,perhaps,greater tolerance to warming waters on the part ofcorals.And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾),it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease,and Zika.Gene drives also offer us potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes,mice,rabbits and rats which are threatening native species in some parts of the world.Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction.Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales.One area of research focuses on genes that can copy themselves to the second,ensuring that they will be passed on by all offspring(后代).Like many technologies,however,gene drives may lead to bad outcomes as well as good.They could in theory make species extinct.One concern is practical: removing a species from the food chain could have unintended consequences,particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species.Another relates to governance.Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained;animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders.One country’s decision to use gene drives will have consequences for its neighbours.A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology,and not only by states.A mosquito,engineered to inject toxins(毒素) could be used as a weapon.But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and other killers before an answer is found,but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer.32.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Diseases spread among
