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 harmfu l 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.

The American Thanksgiving holiday is on Thursday. Many people will get together with family members for a big meal. It is a time to express
But some people do not look forward to spending a lot of time with their family. It can be stressful. Family members can start arguments with each other. Some people at the meal may have conflicting (冲突的) political beliefs. Conflict can even find its way into the kitchen, where all the cooking takes place. There is a saying called “too many cooks in the kitchen.” This means that, sometimes, if many people are trying to do a project together, it does not turn out as well as it could have if only one person were in charge. That is why people are offering Thanksgiving survival ideas on Twitter.
Rick Irwin had one. “Say that you’re letting the dog out and use it as an excuse to disappear for several hours.”Tracy Brooks had a suggestion for limiting Thanksgiving dinner responsibilities. She wrote, “Be the last to arrive and the first to leave.”
Since there is so much food at the Thanksgiving meal, Christine Turner suggested forgetting about your diet and wearing loose clothing. But, one fitness expert said people do not have to give up on their diets during the big meal. They can prepare foods that have fewer calories (卡路里). For example, they could bake some foods instead of frying them in oil.
But other people are looking forward to the holiday. Sara Marie Brenner wondered why people need to “survive” Thanksgiving, at all. She wrote, “I enjoy the holiday.”
24. Why do some people dislike having Thanksgiving with their family?
A. Some disagreements may arise.
B. They live far away from each other.
C. They have distant family relationships.
D. The traditional cooking takes up too much time.
25. Which of the following is an example of “too many cooks in the kitchen”?
A. Many friends came to help but ruined my plan.
B. Nobody is willing to help me when I’m in trouble.
C. I don’t know who to choose from the many helpers.
D. Many cooks don’t know more about cooking than I.
26. What advice does Christine offer on Thanksgiving diet?
A. Preparing low-calorie foods.
B. Limiting food intake.
C. Enjoying the food.
D. Baking foods.
27. What is Sara’s attitude towards Thanksgiving?
A. Worried.
B. Positive.
C. Critical.
D. Uninterested.
C
Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.
For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical experiment and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.
Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb (拇指). Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.
None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.
The biggest beneficiaries(受益者) could be people in low- and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require refrigeration, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.
“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.
28.What is the passage mainly about?
A.A vaccine that cures people of their flu.
B. A method that makes traditional flu shot painless.
C.A patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.
D. A team that does research on seasonal flu.
29. What do we know about the vaccine patch?
A. It causes slight side effects.
B. It causes serious skin reactions.
C. It delivers vaccine on the head.
D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.
30. The new patch has all the following benefits except that .
A. it is provided free of charge
B. it can be used without doctors
C. it can be kept at room temperature
D. it needs less care in transportation
31. What is Katja and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Unclear.
D. Disapproving.
D
I was headed out the door the other day with my two sons. We were going to drive to the local grocery store to pick up a few things that we had run out of during the week. I shut the door quickly because my dogs were already barking at being left behind in the house. We headed down the hill but when I reached into my pocket for the car keys, they weren’t there. Shaking my head, I walked back up the hill and saw my keys still dangling from the hook where I always hang them.
This, of course, isn’t the only time I have forgotten something recently. In fact, it seems to be happening more and more. There isn’t a week that goes by when I don’t forget something and then remember it later in the day or misplace something and have to go looking for it. The medical professionals all reassure me that this is a normal part of getting older. They say not to worry about it and to take it with a smile. I am doing my best to do so.
I think I will be alright with my forgetful mind too as long as I can keep remembering the important things in life. I don’t mind misplacing my keys as long as I can remember that God loves me. I don’t mind forgetting what I came into a room for as long as I can remember what I am in this life for. I don’t mind being a bit absent-minded as long as I am being loving-hearted.
May you always remember the important things in life: You were created in love. You were created to love. You can make a difference in this world with every choice you make.
32.What happened to the author the other day?
A.He forgot to bring his car keys.
B.He was annoyed by his dogs.
C.He lost his way to the grocery store.
D.He didn’t take enough money.
33. What can we learn about the author?
A.He has accepted the doctors’ advice.
B.He seldom forgets to put things in place.
C.He doesn’t like to be troubled by his dogs.
D.He is sure to recover from his forgetful mind.
34. If the author misplaced his keys again, he ______.
A.would get mad.
B.would turn to God.
C.wouldn’t care about it.
D.wouldn’t forget to smile.
35. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is ______.
A.to tell us it is normal to get old.
B.to describe an unforgettable story.
C.to encourage us to love and help others.
D.to remind us to value the important things.

六、作文：（参考范文）
Dear fellow students,
Recently I have found many of us students spend too much time sending short messages or playing games on cell phones, which has negative effects on our studies and also does harm to our eyes. Worse still, we have little time to communicate with our parents and friends. Nor do we have time for physical exercise.
What shall we do to improve the situation? All of us should be fully aware of
the harmful effects of frequent use of cell phones. To begin with, let's limit our time of playing with cell phones and start other hobbies. What's more, we should spend more time playing sports, which is beneficial to us. Besides, communicating with our friends is also a good choice to help us relax and get rid of the addiction.
I hope that my suggestions will be of help to you.
Let’s put down our cell pho nes and focus on what is happening around us !
Let's take action now!
That’s all. Thank you for your listening.。
