You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the famous ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American women to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exit today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Standford Law School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona State Senator(参议员) and in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court(高等法院). O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison, but it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

Passenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered(驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.
4、In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.
A.were the biggest bird in the world
B.lived mainly in the south of America
C.did great harm to the natural environment
D.were the largest population in the US
5、The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.
A.escape B.ruin C.liberation D.evolution
6、What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
A.To seek pleasure. B.To save other birds.
C.To make money. D.To protect crops.
7、What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
A.It was ignored by the public. B.It was declared too late.
C.It was unfair. D.It was strict.
Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
8、In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skills.
C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.
9、What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？
A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination.
C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship.
10、How do boy differ from girls in puzzle play?
A. They play with puzzles more often.
B. They tend to talk less during the game.
C. They prefer to use more spatial language.
D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.
11、What is the text mainly about?
A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific study.
C. A woman psychologist. D. A teaching program.
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note –“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
12、Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.
A.to show his magical power B.to pay for the delivery
C.to satisfy his curiosity D.to please his mother
13、What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
A.He wanted to have tea there. B.He was a respectable person.
C.He was treated as a family member. D.He was fully trusted by the family.
14、Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor. D.It is forbidden by law.
15、Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A.He missed the good old days. B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C.He needed it for his milk bottles. D.He planted flowers in it.

16、Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

    3.④_____This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
    Hopefully that gives you a good start. ⑤_____ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A.Try new things.

The Miracle Coat
A few years ago, I was having dinner with some good friends from work to celebrate the upcoming Christmas holiday. As we were finishing up the evening, one of my friends told us a very sad story about something that had happened the day before. Her son’s friend was in his mid-twenties and self-employed. He lived on the second floor of a house nearby. Someone who lived on the first floor had been smoking and fell asleep. The house burned down. All the occupants escaped, but the house was completely destroyed with everything in it. All this young man had were the clothes on his back and his pickup truck. He had no family in the area and nowhere to go. My friend was putting him up for a few days until he could decide what to do next. Those of us sitting at the dinner table were horrified. Everyone started opening their wallets to contribute money. My friend put up her hand and said, “He will not accept money. We tried to convince him, but he thinks it is charity and won’t take it. All he wants is a warm coat and some used clothing if anyone has some.” We were all more than happy to fulfill this request and were told that he wore a size 2XL. None of us knew men who wore that size, so it was going to be a bit of a challenge to take care of this quickly.
It was a typically cold New York Christmas, and I couldn’t imagine him without a coat. I shed some tears on the drive home, a combination of grateful tears for the many blessings I had in my life and sad tears for this poor, young man and his troubles. I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with a very clear thought in my mind. I was to visit a nearby thrift store（旧货商店） and find this young man a coat. The next morning I got dressed and went to the thrift shop. I was there when it opened at nine.

However, I went through every coat and jacket but found nothing even close to what I needed.

This was a Christmas miracle!

32、答案：①Covering ②the ③were ④to increase ⑤is designed ⑥and ⑦populations ⑧eventually ⑨as ⑩that
解析：①非谓语动词。该句谓语部分为will be, 故此处应该用非谓语动词作状语; cover与句子主语是逻辑上的主谓关系, 所以用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
②冠词。这里单数名词size前需要冠词, 构成倍数表达法"倍数+the size of+名词"表示"……的大小的几倍大"。
③时态和主谓一致。本空所在定语从句的主语, 即关系代词that, 指代前面的a significant number of areas, 这个短语作主语时, 谓语动词的数应该与复数名词areas保持一致; 空后的previously unprotected表明这个定语从句叙述的是过去发生的事。因此填were。
④非谓语动词。根据语境可知, 此处在句中作目的状语, 表示"以便提高管理的有效性并降低不一致性"。
⑤时态、语态和主谓一致。GPNP作主语, 谓语动词用单数形式; 大熊猫国家公园与design之间是被动关系, 应用被动语态; 结合语境可知此处叙述的是现在的客观情况, 用一般现在时。故填is designed。
⑥连词。通过句子结构中的"protecting..., preserving..., protecting..., ⑥_____ leaving"可以看出, 这里需要并列连词来连接多个并列成分, 因此填and。
⑦名词复数。population在这里表示"种群", 是可数名词, 由空前的separate可知应填名词复数populations。
⑧副词。该空修饰动词achieve, 应填所给词的副词形式eventually。
⑨介词。动词短语serve as在此处表示"起作用, 产生效果"。
⑩定语从句。先行词"the species"指物, 并且其前有all修饰, 故此处宜用关系代词that。
33、答案：
Dear David,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load. I don’t know about others, but I used to have to work even at weekends doing endless homework and attending classes as well. Now I have more free time. I can follow my own interests such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What’s more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about this new arrangement of things.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
34、答案：
However, I went through every coat and jacket but found nothing even close to what I needed. Suddenly, a lady came out of the back room, so I stopped to ask if she had anything in the back in that size. I explained the poor young man’s story. She went in the back and returned a few minutes later saying there was nothing else. I was upset. However, a moment later, another woman came out of the back with what looked like a brand-new down parka in her arms. She said, “This was dropped in our overnight bin. It was the only thing in the bin. Is this what you’re looking for?” It was perfect! I was stunned and could barely speak.
This was a Christmas miracle! There was certainly no other explanation for why I, a perfect stranger, was somehow charged with finding him a coat. Or why there just happened to be only one item, the perfect coat, left in the overnight bin of this thrift store. (176 words)
