Hawking died on Wednesday at the age of 76. Tributes for famed theoretical physicist, cosmologist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking filled social media sites overnight. Scientists, media personalities, celebrities and many of the millions around the world who were influenced by his work and inspired by his life shared their thoughts:

His passing has left an intellectual vacuum (知识真空) in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating (渗入) spacetime. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018.

—Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) March 14, 2018

Stephen Hawking, RIP. Sad to hear about Stephen Hawking. What a remarkable life. His contributions to science will be used as long as there are scientists, and there are many more scientists because of him. He spoke about the value and fragility of human life and civilisation and greatly enhanced both.

—Brian Cox (@ProfBrianCox) March 14, 2018

Our world has lost a shining light. Blessed with a brilliant mind and uncommon grace, he opened so many minds to the wonders of our universe. Courageous and undefeated by misfortune, he believed deeply in the power reason.

—Dan Rather (@DanRather) March 14, 2018

It had to happen, eventually. We were lucky to have him for so long, and I was lucky to be able to work with him. A truly fabulous human being. Stephen Hawking. Funny, perverse, and, of course, brilliant.

—Sophia Nasr (@Astropartigirl) March 14, 2018

RIP Stephen Hawking. Genuinely very sad to hear that. If you haven’t, read A Brief History of Time. It’ll make the world feel more amazing and beautiful and strange. It’ll also make you feel smart and stupid all at once.

—Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) March 14, 2018

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” If understanding the Universe makes us special, then Dr. Stephen Hawking was truly extraordinary.

【4~6题答案】

【答案】4. D5. D6. C

C

In the past few decades, there has been a sharp increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I still take the view that the disadvantages for young people are greater.

To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. We should not ignore the fact that there are still many families who live from hand to mouth. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save much money.

Another important factor which should be taken into consideration is the great pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Being too young to live independently, other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safely mainly in America where racism(种族主义)prevails(盛行). In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.

A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to. As China has boomed(兴旺), the educational environment has improved obviously, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities(设施)and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country. Most importantly, it has been widely recognized that China has become the safest country in the world to resist COVID-2019.

To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its unavoidable disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad, you should consider these many real factors.

7. What’s the author’s attitude towards studying abroad on the whole?

A. He or She is for it. B. He or She is against it.

C. He or She doesn’t care. D. We can’t judge his or her attitude.

8. What does the underlined phrase probably mean according to paragraph 2?

A. Live a happy life. B. Live a sad life. C. Live a poor life. D. Live a busy life.

9Which sentence of the following is not true according to paragraph 3?

A. Most students may suffer from culture shock when they are in new surroundings.

B. Some students may become depressed when they’re too young to handle challenges.

C. There exists racism in America to a great extent.

D. Foreign approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students.

10. What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph?

A. Studying in China is also a good choice now. B. Studying in China is the last choice.

C. China should have many great universities. D. Students should contribute to economy.

By contrast, wheat-eating northerners, and particularly the men, take pride in what Chinese call “eating big and drinking big,” without care for such petty (small and unimportant) concerns as germs and bacteria.

第二节读后续写（满分25分）

47. 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 was a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic. She was born in August and her name is Aida.

Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly. She had shown me how to knit a scarf. She showed me stitches and gave me her half done project.

I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (纱线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.

There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.

Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging times, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses.

It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it’s freezing outside!” then he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1

I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2

Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【47题答案】

【答案】I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. David’s face lit up with joy. Stroking the scarf softly, David excitedly kissed me in the cheek, beaming at me “Thank you, mom. This is the best gift I have ever received.” Before I could say anything, he dashed out to join Jane with a spring in his step. I felt relieved and content as a mother, seeing David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind. Wearing a smile on my face, I continued my chores that morning.

Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf. Obviously, David noticed Jane could hardly bear the freezing weather with worn-out clothes. “Can I give this to Jane as a Christmas gift?” David ventured in a low voice. Smiling, I nodded. Seeing David rush into Jane’s house with the scarf in his hand, I felt burst of pride. I was happy that both of them received the best gift for Christmas. For Jane, a scarf to keep warm, and for David, a taste of happiness of giving.
