In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state-funded scholarship.Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to look after her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’re Expecting (1984).4. What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?A. The influence of her aunt. B. The desire to help the poor.C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The doctors’ financial support.5. Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Caring and determined.C. Adventurous and sensitive. D. Optimistic and honest.6. Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?A. Her family couldn’t afford her education. B. She failed to follow the school regulations.C. They felt negative about her determination. D. They doubted her ability to finish her study.7. What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?A. Inspiring but unrealistic. B. Educational but complicated.C. Accessible and interesting. D. Pioneering and practical.CMuch of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.Because humans are land animals, most of the Earth remains under-explored. Marine (海洋的) biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.A new initiative hopes to change this. Launched in London on April 27th, Ocean Census aims to discover 100, 000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade. It is backed by Nekton, a British marine-research institute, and the Nippon foundation, Japan’s biggest charitable foundation. Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29th, bound for the Barents Sea.The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change. The second reason is technological. Marine biologist s find about 2, 000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting it can go faster.Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents (喷口) on the sea bed. These days, such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. There are more practical benefits, too. Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.8. Why is “Earth” an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun?A. Its climate is changing rapidly. B. Humans have not explored much of it.C. Most of its surface is covered by water. D. It hosts a large number of marine animals.9. What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. The rate of discovering new species won’t change.B. The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs.C. Climate change has a great impact on marine species.D. Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean.10. What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph?A. It may result in a reduction in overfishing.B. It may lead to the discovery of new drugs.C. It may contribute to the advancement of technology.D. It may prove the oceans are our life-support system.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. The Endangered Planet B. Reducing Sea Pollution: A Global InitiativeC. How to Protect the Oceans? D. The Misnamed Earth: Exploring the Ocean’s SecretsDGraduating students in the U. S. often feel pressure to get ahead and secure a good career fast. This attitude is reflected in surveys published by the career search platform Handshake, which found that economic news has driven the class of 2023 to feel “anxious”, “worried” and “stressed” to the extent that they plan to apply for jobs sooner than they originally intended to. In another Handshake survey, 85% of Generation Z job seekers reported stability to be a high priority in their job search. It’s no surprise that among a large number of students longing for certainty, the idea of taking a gap year is intimidating.However, different from the traditional path, taking a gap year is not a waste of time and money. Studies on high school graduates who took a gap year before college show that it helps many students know more about their career or major selection. Other reported benefits include improved motivation and academic performance following the break. Furthermore, the Gap Year Association, a federally-recognized Standards Development Organization for gap year programs in the U. S, collected surveys revealing that students who take a gap year before college are more likely to graduate in four years or less when compared to the national average.Importantly, a gap year need not be an expensive project. While spending thousands of dollars for specialized gap year programs is one way to ensure a productive, well-structured experience, this route falls outside most graduates’ budgets. Instead, students can take advantage of gap year scholarships and paid opportunities that are available both home and abroad. Additionally, many volunteer programs offer stipends (助学金) and cover the cost of room and board.12. What did Handshake surveys find?A. Economy majors found it hard to find a job.B. Most Generation Z job seekers prioritize stability.C. Graduating students are hesitant to receive an offer.D. The U. S. encouraged the class of 2023 to take a gap year.13. What does the underlined word “intimidating” mean in the first paragraph?A. Frightening. B. Understandable. C. Attractive. D. Misleading.14. What can we learn about the gap year from the second paragraph?A. It determines the choice of major. B. It helps figure out future career paths.C. It lowers the graduation rate in the US. D. It leads to poor academic performance.15. What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?A. Doubtful. B. Intolerant. C. Favourable. D. Unclear.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Anyone can make mistakes.

I was also what most teachers and parents would call a “good kid”, following the rules, and rarely questioning authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that. The school bus that day was smelly and crowded. The windows were all rolled up by the bus driver’s orders — it was raining too hard outside. Most of the other kids were engaged in conversations and games. I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one. Over and over, I carefully wiped a small circle on my window so that I could watch outside. The bus stopped, waiting for an accident to be cleared. The driver, Mrs. Foster, was particularly tense that day and had yelled at several kids who had been standing up in their seats. As I sat quietly, I saw a little cat on the other side of the road. It was all wet and didn’t seem to know where to go. I wanted to help the cat, but the bus driver would never allow me off the bus. I would get into big trouble for trying to rescue a cat across a busy, rainy street. I also thought that if I pointed out the miserable cat, the other kids would probably think I was strange. I couldn’t bear that. My window was cloudy again, and when I wiped the window clear, I could see the cat was now struggling in running water and shaking. I saw absolute terror in its dark, round eyes. I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat, tears rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to rush off the bus without asking for permission to save the cat. But I also pictured the other kids staring at me. I sat still, unable to act. The bus began to move forward. I could see the cat panicked. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed. I hadn’t even realized that I was standing up. When Mrs. Foster yelled at me to sit down, I was shocked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“No one is to leave this bus!” Mrs. Foster said seriously, rushing into the rain. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
