阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A

The picture of George Washington is on the one-dollar bill. He served as American's first president from 1789 to 1797. President Washington has been called the "Father of his country."

The third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, is on the two-dollar bill. He was the main writer of the Declaration of independence in 1776. Jefferson was one of the most influential of the nation's Founding Fathers. He was also a plant expert, architect, musician and inventor.

Another of American's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, is on the five-dollar bill. He served as the sixteenth president from 1861 until 1865. He successfully led the country through the Civil War, saved the Union and ended slavery.

The picture of Alexander Hamilton appears on the ten-dollar bill. Hamilton was never president. But he was the first Secretary of the Treasury and one of the Founding Fathers. He was also an economist and political philosopher.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president, serving from 1829 to 1837. He supported popular democracy and individual liberty. His picture is on the twenty-dollar bill.

Another president is on the fifty-dollar bill. Ulysses S. Grant served from 1869 to 1877. Before serving as president, Grant was military commander of Union forces during the Civil War. Under his command, the Union Army defeated Confederate forces.

So who do you think is on the one hundred-dollar bill? It is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was never elected president, but was one of the Founding Fathers. He was also a leading writer and printer, political thinker, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civil activist, and diplomat.

These American statesmen are on the front of the bills. The backs of the notes show images from nation's history or famous places. They are in order, the Great Seal of the United States, the signing of Declaration of Independence and the Lincoln Memorial. The others are the Treasury Building, the White House, the Capitol Building and independence Hall.

It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(二维).

A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution (高分辨率) displays that need very little energy.

Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.

Usually transistors are made with the element silicon (硅). Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.

Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be. He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft.

"If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid (坚硬的) , like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things,” said Ioannou.

These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.

Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.

24. Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?

A. They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.

B. The transistors are made with the element silicon.

C. They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.

D. They have already been put into actual use.

25. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.

B. Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.

C. The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.

D. The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.

26. What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?

A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.

C

Closeness and independence are both important in our life. Though all humans need both of them, women tend to focus on the first and men on the second. It is as if their lifeblood ran in different directions.

These differences can give women and men differing views of the same situation, as they did in the case of couple I will call Tracy and Brian. When Brian’s old high school friend called him at work and announced he’d be in town on business the following month, Brian invited him to stay for the weekend. That evening he informed Tracy that they were going to have a houseguest, and that he and his friend would go out together the first night to chat like old times. Tracy was upset. She was going to be away on business the week before, and the Friday night when Brian would be out with his friend would be her first night home. But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather then discussing them with her before extending the invitation.

Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian. She can’t understand why he doesn’t show her the same courtesy and consideration that she shows him. But when she protests, Brian says, “I can’t say to my friend, ‘I have to ask my wife for permission’!”

To Brian, checking with his wife means seeking permission, which implies that he is not independent, not free to act on his own. To Tracy, checking with her husband makes her feel good to know and show that she is involved with someone, that her life is bound up with someone else’s.

Tracy and Brian both felt upset by this incident because it cut to the core of their primary concerns. Tracy was hurt because she sensed a failure of closeness in their relationship: He didn’t care about her as much as she cared about him. And he was hurt because he felt she was trying to control him and limit his freedom.

27. What is the primary purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A. To educate the reader on how to maintain good family relationships.

B. To tell the reader how to make close connections with other people.

C. To suggest the best way of coping with family conflicts.

D. To explain the difference in communication styles between men and women.

28. Tracy was upset because ______.

A. she didn’t know Brian’s friend B. she was too busy to meet Brian’s friend

C. Brian didn’t care about her and hurt her deeply

D. Brian didn’t consult her before inviting his friends home

29. What would Tracy most probably do if she plans to buy something expensive?

A. She would discuss with Brian.

B. She would simply decide on her own.

C. She would ask her friends for advice.

D. She would buy Brian something expensive first.

30. According to the passage, compared with men, women tend to ______.

A. be more emotional

B. be easier to get hurt

C. emphasize more on sharing

D. emphasize more on independence

What I learned watching dentist at work

I would like to be a dentist in the future. 31 The patient, tender dentist comforted me, a 7-year-old girl at the time, and persuaded me to stop crying and to accept my treatment.

32 Recently, our teacher gave us the homework of experiencing a kind of job on the weekend. I chose without hesitation to live a day as a dentist at my friend’s older brother’s workplace.

I got to Dr Tan’s clinic at 7:45 am, 15 minutes before office hours began on Saturday. Dr Tan, who has been a dentist for five years, sat in his consulting room with a mask on his face and waited for his patients. I didn’t really understand his diagnoses or treatments, but I could see that Dr Tan was a responsible doctor. He explained conditions and therapies (治疗方案) to patients at length to remove their doubts. He paused operations to let patients rest if the treatment was taking too much time. 33 Dr Tan worked for almost the whole morning without a break. He only made a phone call to his wife to remind her to have an antenatal (产前) examination. Yes, he will be a father in five months, but he still cannot keep his wife company at the weekend. 34 They try to ease others’ pain anytime and anywhere, despite the cost to their own time and life.

As the last patient said goodbye to Dr Tan in the afternoon, my visit came to an end. I now feel that I understand more about doctors. 35

A. My dream has finally come true.

B. They are the heroes I admire most.

C. Doctors are ordinary people, yet they are also angels.

D. It helps me to reduce stress, find friends and learn new skills.

E. I thought it was a dream that was almost impossible to fulfill

F. That’s all because of a dentist I came across during my childhood.

G. He also gave a doctor’s advice to his patients carefully before they went out the door.

“Who did this?" asked my teacher. There were 30 children trying to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out.

“Who did this?" asked my teacher once more. She wasn't really asking, she was demanding an answer. She seldom became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked: "Who broke this window?"

“Oh, oh," I thought.1 was the one who broke the window. I had not meant to do it. It was caused by an inaccurate（不准确的）throw of a baseball. If I admitted it，1would be in a lot of trouble and even punished. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn't even get any pocket money. "My father is going to have a fit, "I thought. I didn't want to raise my hand. But then a force much stronger than me changed my mind. I had to tell the truth.

My teacher went to one of our library shelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk.

第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）

A篇：

21．D推理判断题。文章在描述每一种纸币上的人物时，都着重描写他们对国家的作用与影响，从而可判断美国人民看重的是个人对这个国家产生的贡献。

22．B推理判断题。文章中提到的这些历史上著名的人物，无论是独立战争，美国内战，还是独立宣言的起草与签署都反映出他们为争取国家的独立与民主所作出的努力与牺牲。

23．A主旨大意题。很明显，本文是描述各种美元纸币上伟大人物。

B: 24-26 ACD

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国科学家最新研发的新型2D晶体管，以及它和传统晶体管相比所具有的优点和新的应用。

24．A细节理解题。【关键句】Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution（高分辨率）displays that need very little energy.（第二段最后一句）译文：科学家希望这些新型2D晶体管能被用于研发耗能极少的高清晰度的显示器。【解题思路】本题问的是关于新型晶体管的论述哪个是正确的。根据关键句可知，A项正确。B项中的 “silicon”错误，传统的晶体管所用的原材料是硅，而新型的不是；C项错在“rigid，’，新型的晶体管轻薄且柔软；根据最后一段中的“it's still in the stage of research”可知，D项“它们已被投入使用”错误。

25．C句意理解题。【关键句】He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features．．．（第五段第三句）译文：他补充说，研究人员一直在寻找具有特殊功能的新材料……【解题思路】根据关键句可推知，该句应指传统晶体管已经在最大程度上被优化了，所以研究人员才需要寻找新的代替品。故选C。

26．D观点态度题。【关键句】“Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance．”said Ioannou．（最后一段最后一句）译文：Ioannou说：“日前来说，新型晶体管将会有多好，有多大用处，现在仍处于研究阶段，但它肯定是一大进步。”【解题思路】本题问的是Dimitris Ioannou对新型晶体管的态度。由关键句中的“advance”可知，Dimitris Ioannou对新型晶体管持肯定态度。A项意为“否定的”；B项意为“中立的”；C项意为“不关心的”；D项意为 “肯定的”。故选D。

C篇：27-30DDAC。

【答案解析】

27. D主旨大意题。文章从第一段开始就讲述男女的需求和关注点不同，后面以Tracy和Brian这对夫妇的例子来说明男女因交流方式不同而造成的冲突。

28.D细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather than discussing them with her before extending the invitation.”可得知答案。

29.A细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian.”可知答案。

30.C推理判断题。文章的第一段就指出：女性更倾向于亲近，男性更倾向于独立。由此可以推断出女性更愿意与人分享，从而使关系更亲近。A,B选项文中未提及，D选项情况刚相反，应该是男性更倾向于独立。

“I know how you like birds,”she said as she stood looking down at my burning face. "Here is that field guide（指南）about birds that you are always checking out. It is yours." Hearing this, I lowered my head, wondering whether she was teasing me. As I was expecting a storm of criticism, she continued, "Anyway it's time we got a new one for the school. The book is yours and you will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you because you told the truth."

I couldn't believe it！I wasn't being punished for breaking the window and I was getting my very own bird field guide which I loved so much that I could hardly put it down when I picked it up. You can imagine the mixed feelings of guilt and joy I had at that moment. The book is now gone, so is my wonderful teacher. All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me-honesty is the best policy.
