Dozens of women have won the Nobel Prize in science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石）in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架)of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famousfor her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911，this time in Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time that became famous as a scientist.24.What does the author think of women scientists according to Paragraph 1?A.They go through difficulties to be successful.B.They cannot get the highest honors in the world.C.They had better pay more attention to their families.D.They have more opportunities to become successful.25．Why did Mary fail to be famous for her discoveries of fossils?A.

She finished her college education in Poland.B. She was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.C. She won the first Nobel Prize before getting married.D. She and her husband won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.27. What’s the text mainly about?A. Ancient discoveries of scientists.B. Some stories of women scientists.C.

But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us.Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination(协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine(事务) and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.It’s great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.28. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?A. They move on as they wish.B. They choose the routes the city planners laid down.C. They run faster than others.D. They stick to certain routes.29. Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?A. It’s a special way of life.B. It draws their attention.C. It’s good for people to keep healthy.D. It needs some rules and instructions.30. What is th e author’s idea on parkour?A. It is more formal than other sports.B. It helps people to be creative.C. It’s worth adding to the sporting event.D. It calls on people to work as a team.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. A new sports competitionB. Parkour practitionersC. Training in a different wayD. Making the city their ownDWhat kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life? Will you be spending your free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first people to try the next popular extreme activity? Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.Researchers have found that men often try to impress other people by proving that they are courageous and fearless, and they are more likely to take risks when people are watching them or when they are competing against other men. Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and try not to take unnecessary risks. In addition, when people are in stable relationships, they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.Some people seem to be more daring than others, but there are many different types. Do they take all types of risk? Psychologists have identified a number of categories(种类) of risks. These include financial risks, risks related to health and safety, amusing risks and social risks. Psychologists discover that just if a person enjoys bungee jumping, it doesn’t mean he or she will take chances when investing money or that he or she will tell a joke to a group of strangers.Interestingly, research shows that in most cases men are less cautious than women, but women take more social risks than men. Men are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.Yet, at the end of the day, the probability of particular people taking a risk depends on what type of people they belong to. In general, optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes (结果) of their actions. On the other hand, pessimistic people are the complete opposite.32.Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the research?A.To attract people’s attention.B.To take on more responsibility.C.To make favorable impressions on people.D.To develop stable relationships with others.33.What does the example of bungee jumping indicate?A.There are more than one type of risk.B. Bungee jumping is dangerous, but popular.C. People take one type of risk, but not another.D. Some people are more courageous than others.34. What have researchers discovered about women?A. They are willing to take risks.B. They are always changing jobs.C. They are good at doing business.D. They are usually more conservative (保守的) than men.35. What mainly determine whether people take risks possibly?A. Their personalities (性格).B. Their financial conditions.C. There social relationships.D. Their expectations of outcomes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
