In February, Dr Robert Lefkowitz, a physician and biochemist, published a memoir(回忆录), called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm: The Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure of an Accidental Scientist. In a recent conversation via video, Lefkowitz said that he wanted his memoir to be “funny, interesting, and easy to understand”. In the book, he humorously describes his journey from a cardiologist(心脏病学家)to a biochemist.

Lefkowitz is no stranger to conducting experiments, making discoveries and telling stories. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Brian Kobilka. The two scientists were honored for their discoveries on the working of G protein-coupled receptors(G蛋白偶联受体). The scientists’ discoveries could help unlock the mysteries to many diseases.

Lefkowitz’s dream of becoming a doctor began when he was eight years old. After his father died of a heart attack, he decided to be a heart doctor. He earned his medical degree at Columbia University.

When asked what qualities contributed the most to his success, Lefkowitz described himself as “reasonably intelligent and creative, hardworking and focused”. He added that being funny can also be very good.

Throughout his life, Lefkowitz has made many hard decisions. Before winning the Nobel Prize, he said, he conducted countless experiments, and only 1 in 50 turned out OK. “With difficult decisions I’ve had to make, I tend to make them with my heart rather than my head,” Lefkowitz said. “However, I don’t mean that deciding with your heart is always right. In other words, it’s all intuition (直觉).”

At age 78, the scientist has no plans for slowing down. “My body and mind are still working,” he said. “I want to continue running my lab at Duke University and writing and publishing research papers.” For more than 40 years, the Lefkowitz Lab has been a center for research on receptor biology, which is the study of how cells recognize and respond to hormones and drugs.

“You could say I’m like the ‘grand old man’ of the field,” Lefkowitz said, smiling. “Everyone knows me. I enjoy mentoring. I enjoy researching. I enjoy this role.”

1. What do you know about Lefkowitz’s memoir from paragraph 1?

A. It will prove to be a masterpiece . B. It must be interesting to read.

C. It should be definitely inspiring. D. It can be hard to understand.

2. Which of the following words best describes their discoveries?

A. Ground-breaking. B. Conventional. C. Profitable. D. Accidental.

3. What was it that made him determined to be a doctor initially?

A. His fine qualities. B. His personal interest.

C. His father’s death. D. His desire for success.

4. What are the last two paragraphs meant to tell us about Lefkowitz?

A. His optimism about his great age. B. His incredible passion for research.

C. His expectations of more prizes. D. His engagement in decision making.

 B

We're willing to bet you know at least one kid who loves Peppa Pig. The British TV show has been attracting youthful audiences around the world for almost two decades and has even created a generation of American kids with fake British accents. Well, all those millions of young Peppa fans will soon have their own theme park in the United States that they can visit with their parents. Moving over Disney World, Peppa Pig is headed to Florida.

The new theme park is slated to open in Orlando, Florida in 2022 and will feature rides, attractions, a water play area and live shows all popular with preschool-age children and their families. Kids will have the opportunity to meet Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and the rest of the animal group as they explore the adorable world that looks like it's been dropped right out of TV and into central Florida.

Peppa fans will love rides such as Grandad Dog's Pirate Boat Ride, where the little piggies can hop aboard and set sail for Pirate Island, and Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride, where they get to fly high above the park in one of Miss Rabbit's hot air balloons. Other rides feature characters like Grampy Rabbit and Mr. Bull.

The park will also feature two play zones: A splash pad where kids can mimic (模仿) jumping in muddy puddles filled with fountains slides and interactive water features perfect for hot Florida summers and Pirate Island where everyone in the family can look for buried treasure or build sand castles with Danny Dog. Are you looking for something adults will love too? Check out the classic boardwalk with free arcade games. When it's time for a break, head to the cinema, where kids can watch their favorite episodes of Peppa Pig in a cool dark theatre.

Yearly passes are already available for the new park for $75. The opening day is still to be announced, but we're guessing there are enough Peppa Pig episodes to keep you and the kids occupied until next year.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I would like to offer a concept of cities that goes against modern ones. ___11___ Such cities should be designed within the distance of a 15-minute walk or bike ride.

What do we need to create 15-minute cities? First, we should start asking questions that we have forgotten. We need to look hard at how to use our square meters. For instance, what is that space for? Who is using it and how? We should understand what resources we have and how they are used. Then we need to ask what services are available in the vicinity(周围地区). We also have to ask ourselves: How do we work? ___12___

How do we get this done? ___13___ Mayor(市长)Anne Hidalgo has suggested a big bang of proximity(靠近), which includes, for example, a massive decentralization, developing new services for each of the districts --- a reduction of traffic by increasing bike lanes into spaces of leisure; new economic models to encourage local shops; building more green spaces; transforming existing infrastructure. That’s actually a golden rule for the 15-minute city: every square meter that’s already built should be used for different things.

___14___ First, the rhythm of the city should follow humans, not cars. Second, each square meter should serve different purposes. Finally, neighborhoods should be designed so that we can live, work and thrive in them without having to constantly commute elsewhere.

It’s funny if you think of it: many modern cities are designed for saving time, and yet so much time is lost to commuting, sitting in traffic jams, driving to a mall. ___15___

A. I call it the 15-minute city.

B. Citizens are actively involved in participation.

C. The 15-minute should have three key features.

D. The first city to adopt the 15-minute city idea is Paris.

E. Why is the place I live in here, and work is far away?

F. The 15-minute city idea answers the questions of saving time.

G. A different pace of life --- a 15-minute pace can be just impossible.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored with everything associated with English courses. I hated it when the assignments (任务分配) turned out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony (痛苦) for teachers to read and for me to write.

When our class was assigned to Mr. Smith for third-year English, I saw another cheerless year. Mr. Smith had a reputation among us for dullness and inability to inspire students.

I prepared for a fruitless year with Mr. Smith and for a long time was not disappointed. Late in the year we dealt with the informal essay. Mr. Smith distributed (分发) a homework sheet offering us a choice for topics. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eyes stopped was "The Art of Eating Spaghetti".

This title produced an extraordinary series of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back to a night when all of us were seated around the supper table --- Uncle Allen, my mother, Doris,  --- and Aunt Pat served spaghetti (意大利面) for supper. Spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. All the good humor of Uncle Allen's house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from the plate to our mouth.

Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Smith. The next morning I turned in my essay.

Paragraph 1: Two days later in class, Mr. Smith returned everyone's graded paper except mine

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2: I was trying not to show my delight at the demonstration when Mr. Smith walked over
