Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

（A）

Rosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was15. She passed the examination admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a traditional of public service and charity, her father disapproved of university education for women. He refused to pay. An aunt stepped in and said Franklin should go to school, and she would pay for it. Franklin?s mother also took her side until her father finally gave in.

She was invited to King?s College in London to joina team of scientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNA with a graduate student. Franklin?s assumption was that it was her own project. The laboratory?s second-in-command,

Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at he time, and when he returned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she?d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.

In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing ,without Franklin?s permission,her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the

黄浦西藏南路高中英语组photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,”according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin:The Dark Lady of DNA.

The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March7,1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated by a general knowledge”of Franklin?s and Wilkin?s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin?s photo and findings. Franklin didn?t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn?t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing. Franklin “didn?t do anything that would invite criticism...(that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.

65.Wilkins? relationship with Franklin was characterized by_____

A.Unity and harmony

B.confusion and competition

C. cooperation and miscommunication

D.misunderstanding and conflict

66.What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race”?

A.He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.

B.He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.

C.He was satisfied with the importance of Photo51.

D.He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made

68.What is Brenda Maddox?s main intention according to the quote in the last paragraph?

A.To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.

B.To criticize King?s College and Cambridge.

C.To emphasize Franklin?s importance in science

D.To deny Watson?s and Crick?s contribution to science.

69.Franklin?s career as a scientist demonstrates______

A.that her work was pointing at the most difficult problem

B.that she was the only female scientist during the period

C.the importance of DNA in modern science

D.that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientists

Cultural Breaks by Brain Aldiss

Reviewed by Paul Kincaid

Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer. When he is

on song, his style is forceful, disturbing and delectable. But

he is a restless writer. He came into his own in the

enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave,

and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever

since. That he is still experimenting now, 50 years after his

appearance, is a measure of a man who has never been

prepared to settle back on his laurels.

The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander

Reviewed by Donna McMahon

With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings

and mythology, ancient China makes a refreshing change. The

landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very

real, and the author uses magic sparingly, in ways appropriate

to her society. This and the complex detail put into the

backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical

fiction.

Straken by Terry Brooks

Reviews by Natural Brazil

The third novel in the High Druid of Shannara series jumps

where his aunt, the overthrown Ard Phys of Druids, is

stranded, Pen must first get back to Paranor. His rescue

(C)

Aisling?s mother died at midsummer. She had fallen sick so suddenly that some of the villagers wondered if the fairies had come and taken her, for she was still young and beautiful. She was buried three days later beneath the hawthorn tree（山楂树）behind the house, just as twilight was darkening the sky.

Maire Solanya, the village greenwitch, came that evening to perform the old rituals over grave. She stood at the foot of the mound of black soil. Aisling and her father stood at the head of it, resting on the simple headstone, was the burning candle. Aisling?s father had lit it shortly after Elinor died, and it would burn all night. The gravestone was a plain piece of slate carved with her name: Elinor. Grass and tree roots would grow up around it as the years passed, until it would seem as if it had always been there.

Maire Solanya said in her low, clear voice, “Life to life, from breath to breath, we remember Elinor.”She held a round loaf of bread in her hands. She tore off a small piece and ate it, chewing deliberately, before handing the loaf to Aisling?s father. He pulled off his own piece, then passed it to his daughter. It was still warm, and it smelt like her mother?s kitchen after baking. But it hadn?t come from her mother?s hands, and that realization made a lump rise in her throat. The bread was tasteless.

Maire Solanya took the loaf from her, its crust（面包皮）gaping open, and placed it on the gravestone next to the candle. Aisling couldn?t shake the feeling that her mother had merely gone out on an errand and would come home at any moment and wonder what the three of them were doing. It didn?t seem possible that she was buried there, at the foot of the hawthorn tree, in the ground. It was easier to believe the village rumors than to sit with the ache inside herself.

She remember those rumors now, while she stood with her father and Maire Solanya in a tense silence. Everyone had always said that Elinor had some magic in her, and everyone knew that fairies-if they existed-were drawn to that. So Aisling?s father had ordered all the old rituals, even though he did not believe in them, just in case. She was not entirely sure what she herself believed, but she knew that her mother would want them to do these rituals for her, and that was enough.

When the sun slipped below the horizon, the greenwitch said, “Sleep in peace,

黄浦西藏南路高中英语组Elinor,”and scattered a gold powder over the grave to bind Elinor to the earth. On the freshly turned soil, the gold glittered like fairly dust.

73.Aisling and her family are most likely_________.

A. fairlies in disquise

B. Simple village folk

C. wealthy farmers

D. experienced bakers

74.Maire Solanya performed the rituals in order to ________.

A. express thanks to the fairies

B. protect the hawthorn tree

C. respect Elinor?s wishes

D.capture Elinor?s spirit

75.Which of the following does not describe Elinor?

A. A believer in magic

B.Practical

C. Skilled at baking

D. Youthful

76.Which statement best describes Aisling?s belief in fairies?

A. She is uncertain and finds the idea unsettling.

B. She finds the idea comforting but is unsure.

C. She is certain they exist and wishes they would bring back her mother.

D. She believes strongly in the power of their rituals but not in their existence.

77.Why did Aisling find the bread" tasteless"?

A. It reminded her of her mother?s absence.

B. It was a terribly rude thing to eat at her mother?s funeral.

C. Solanya was really a poor baker in the village.

D. There had not been sufficient ingredients to make the bread.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

How was it that an American ship came to be sunk by American mines in a port held by American forces?

Built in 1931, the luxury liner SS President Coolidge was a 10-year veteran (退伍军人) of the pacific before she was pressed into service by the military and converted to carry troops.

On October 26,1942, towards the end of her first year of World War II service, the Coolidge hit an American mine in the east entrance of the Segond Channel on Espiritu Santo, one of the islands of the New Herbrides(now Vanuatu), and sank in 36

meters of water.

Though all but two of the 5000 officers and men abroad were saved, the loss of the ship was a military scandal. She had escaped the Japanese during the worst part of the war in the Pacific, only to be lost because of a series of disastrous American mistakes.

The master of the Coolidge, Henry Nelson, claimed he hadn?t been warned that the harbor was mined. Worse, in terms of wartime security, neither of the two US

黄浦西藏南路高中英语组destroyers the Coolidge had encountered had challenged her. Nor had they relayed the vital information about the mines. “The first warning was from a signal station further in the harbor telling me to stop, that we were approaching danger,” he wrote.

…I, in turn, stopped the engines and backed the engines, but with the speed we were moving, we still went too far and we struck two mines. I immediately, with the speed we had left, headed the ship to the beach, and ordered “abandon ship”, which was done and completed in 45 minutes.? …No one mentioned to me, no one informed me, that there was a mine field in Espiritu Santo. Had there been some knowledge of mines, I never would have approached anywhere visible.?

Captain Nelson was exonerated (免罪) by a court of inquiry but those responsible did not escape blame. The port director?s office at Noumea and the inefficiency of an experienced commanding officer of a navy patrol (巡逻队) and pilot boat were blamed.

Today, the Coolidge is one of the world?s best wreck drives. Much of her original luxury decoration remains, including The Lady, perhaps the most photographed underwater icon in the world. Military equipment she was transporting can also still be seen.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)

广州二模英语试题

2019年广州二模英语试题 A The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist. At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair -at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men. “A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has." The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table. His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone." I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"

第I卷 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture. The honeymoon period At first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes. Trouble in paradise In many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background. The road to recovery Gradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness. Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind. 21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first? A. They find foreign living much easier. B. They have the necessary language skills. C. They love the adventure and exploration. D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures. 22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face? A. Homesickness. B. Culture shock C. Health problems. D. Lack of employment. 23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do? A. Study the local language. B. Go on holidays frequently. C. Learn how to open a bank account. D. Seek out people from their home country. B Australia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future! At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant. Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes. The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has a raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value. The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To
