She liked working out how things worked. When she was 7, she took apart her alarm clock. All the parts flew out of the clock, but she couldnt make sense of the mechanism. Instead of giving up, she dismantled all the other alarm clocks in the house, determined to discover how they worked. Graces parents encouraged her curiosity. They took her to museums, libraries, concerts and lectures. When Grace was 8, her father became ill and had to have both legs cut off. He never complained. His bravery inspired Grace to face challenges head-on. If her father could be so brave, Grace felt that she could conquer anything. Graces father worried that he might not always be able to provide for his daughters. He wanted them to get a good education and be able to support themselves. He encouraged them to go to college and create their better future. Grace started at Vassar College when she was 17. She studied math and physics. Then she went to graduate school at Yale. With a PhD in mathematics, the little girl whod spent her days dealing with clocks would become one of the greatest computer minds of her generation. After graduating from Yale, Grace joined the U.S. Naval Reserve (海军预备役), where she worked on the first large automatic calculator in the U.S. Her team came up with new ways to interact with computer data. Grace believed the data should be similar to human language. Later, she helped develop a computer language called COBOL, which uses English words. Grace was a pioneer in computer science. At a time when women were rarely seen in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, she worked with other experts to develop computer programming as its known today. 第 4 页 共 8 页 24.

D. Building the first large automatic calculator in the U.S. C As a small boy in Norwich, England, Andy Ridley dreamt of an underwater world so full of life. It couldnt possibly exist. But decades later, a grown-up Andy found it in real life and his underwater fantasy world turned out to be even bigger than the UK. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is about 344,400 sq km and is so large it can be seen from space. As CEO of the new Citizens of the GBR initiative(倡议), he wants ordinary people around the world to play a part in protecting this famous habitat, which is suffering from another wide spread bleaching(白化) event. Its not the first time Andy has taken on such a huge task. He co-founded Earth Hour (EH), which involves people and businesses turning off their lights for the same hour each year. “The Great Barrier Reef is a mirror on humans - the health of the reef shows how were treating the earth,” Andy says. “I was working in the Netherlands and I started to see the stories about what was going on in the reef. I wanted to see what was really going on.” So, in 2002, Andy, his zoologist wife, Dr Tammie Matson, and their two young children, left the bright lights of Europe for a life under the stars in Cairns. Andy says one of his most magical experiences was on an early trip to Osprey Island. “Id never seen anything like it,” he says, “It was full of life.” After this unforgettable dive Andy imagined how he could use the reef to create change, and Citizens of the GBR was born. Whether youre a child growing up in a New York apartment or a grandfather living in Beijing, anyone can register as a “citizen” and have a say in how the GBR is protected. Registration will allow you to vote online on which projects the initiative provides money for and be kept informed of the results. 28. What is the goal of the GBR initiative ? A. To stop the reef from turning white.B. To find an underwater world full of life. C. To build a fantasy world based on reality.D. To attract visitors to the Great Barrier Reef. 29. Why did Andy go to Cairns ? A. To do some business.B. To have a family holiday. C. To look for an interesting job.D. To look into the bleaching event. 第 5 页 共 8 页 30. What will the “citizens” do according to the text ? A. Raise money online.B. Give opinions on the reefs protection. C. Have a say in who can register.D. Organize research projects on the environment. 31. What is the best title for this passage? A. Great Barrier Reef(GBR) - a Natural WonderB. Bleaching GBR - a New Worry C. Citizens of the GBR - a New Hope for GBR D. Curing GBR - a Childhood Dream D “What do you want to be when you grow up?” When I was kid, I was afraid of the question. I never had a good answer. Grown-ups always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasnt dreaming of becoming something great, like a film-maker or a spaceman. In college, I finally realized that I didnt want to do one thing. I wanted to do many things. So I became an organizational psychologist. My job is to fix other peoples jobs. And I think that asking kids what they want to be does harm to them. First, the question forces kids to define (界定) themselves in terms of work. When youre asked what you want to be when you grow up, it is not socially acceptable to say a “father”, or a “mother”. This might be one of the reasons that while many parents say that what they value most is to care about others, their kids believe that success is more important. When we define ourselves by our jobs, our worth depends on what we achieve. The second problem is that it tells kids there is one calling out there for everyone. Although having a calling can bring people joy, research shows that searching for one leaves students feeling lost. After the actor Chris Rock heard a teacher tell high schoolers, they could be anything they want to be, he asked, “Lady, why are you lying to these children?” Maybe four of them could be anything they want to be, but the other 2,000 had better learn how to weld(焊接). He added,”Tell the kids the truth. You can be anything youre good at.” I am all for encouraging kids to dream big. But it is no good asking kids what they want to be. Instead, invite them to think about what kind of person they want to be - and about all the different things they might want to do. 32.How did the author feel when he was asked the question ? A. Angry.B. StupidC. UneasyD. Disappointed 33.What is one problem with the question according to Paragraph 3 ? A. Kids may put success first. B. Kids may stop dreaming big. C. It makes kids refuse to grow up.D. It makes kids depend more on others. 34.What can be inferred from Chris Rocks words ? A. Nobody is perfect. B. Not everyone has a calling. C. Nothing is impossible.D. Nobody can succeed without working hard. 35.What does the author suggest grown-ups do ? A. Teach kids some useful skills.B. Let kids know more about society. C. Encourage kids to try to achieve a lot.D. Ask kids to consider different possibilities. 第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Many people connect gratitude with saying “thank you” to someone who helped us, making it a short act of appreciation. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, gratitude is an emotion 第 6 页 共 8 页 that can result in long-lasting positivity. 36 Gratitude is good for your health. Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. 37 In the workplace, employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent. 38 Gratitude is a selfless act. We often take for granted the simple things in life. Those who recognize the goodness in life, no matter how simple, are more likely to be aware of the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Thinking about others opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make you a better person. Gratitude makes us more self-aware. Working in an ever-developing, fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better. 39 It starts by paying attention to whats now going on in your life, and thats true self-awareness is the key to being successful. Gratitude helps us build strong relationship. Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationship, both at work and in your personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections. 40 Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness - whether it was today, last month or many years ago-makes you happier and more self-aware. A.In fact, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who werent. B.Gratitude builds understanding.
