PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. Tan Yunxian (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. James Barry (c.1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.

Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
24．How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?
A. By teaming up with other photographers. or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical conditions. corn fields.
B. By shooting in the countryside
D. By creating settings in the
25．What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. C. Adventurous spirit.
B. Good shooting techniques. D. Distinctive styles.
26．What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment.
27．How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing.
B. Satisfying.
C. Encouraging.
D. Comforting.
What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one
third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28．What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. C. It lacks authentic tastes.
B. It is rich in nutrition. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative.
B. Creative.
C. Profitable.
D. Influential.
30．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%.
B. 24%.
C. 25%.
D. 33%.
31．What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. C. Table manners in the UK.
B. Male chefs on TV programmes. D. Studies of big eaters.
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day.
From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects. 32．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. How past events should be presented. C. Whether facts speak louder than words.
B. What humanity is concerned about. D. Why written language is reliable.
33．What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2? A. His report was scientific. C. He ruled over Botany Bay.
B. He represented the local people. D. His record was one-sided.
34．What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Problem.
B. History.
C. Voice.
D. Society.
35．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from? A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World
B. A Short History of Australia D. How Art Works Tell Stories
C. A History of the World in 100 Objects 三、七选五
36．Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unsung heroes of the home. ①_________, but studies have shown that they can promote people’s wellbeing by improving their mood (心情),
reducing stress and helping their memory. What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
What are indoor plants?
Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. ②_________
Why are indoor plants good for you?
Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “③_________. I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. ④_________
Which plants can you grow?
Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature-which is part of the joy of owning plants. “⑤_________” Spoelstra says. “It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to make the link between home and nature.” A. All plants are different B. Not only do they look beautiful
C. There are many benefits to growing plants indoors D. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer E. Plants like peace lilies and devil’s ivy are among the best F. Changing the pot of your plant from time to time will also help G. Learning about the requirements of each plant can be very rewarding 四、完形填空（20空）

I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience, and I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction.

It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world
music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days—classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage? As a musician, it's important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I'm really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician. 18．答案：C 解析： 19．答案：C 解析： 20．答案：A 解析： 21．答案：C

解析：理解具体信息根据Tan Yunxian部分的介绍可知，谈允贤从小跟着爷爷奶奶学医，并通过了官方的考试，一生中为各行各业的女性诊疗。她还写了一本名为《女医杂言》的书，记录了自己的女医生涯。其他三个医生的介绍中并未提到写书，因此选A。 23．答案：D
解析：理解具体信息。根据Rebecca Lee Crumpler中的\"she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree\" 可知,Rebecca Lee Crumpler是第一个获得医学学位的非裔美国人。因此答案为D。 24．答案：B
解析：理解具体信息 根据第二段的\"To make some of my landscape shots... the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way\"可知，作者和他的朋友们到州公园或农村去拍照，以此来应对中西部缺少地理多样性的挑战。故B项正确。 25．答案：A
解析：理解具体信息根据第三段第一句可知，恰当的地点和恰当的时间对于拍摄任何风格的照片都起着决定性的作用。第三段的最后一句验证了作者所说。故A项正确。 26．答案：C
解析：根据第四段的\"However, we did not mark the route(路线)... it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time\"可知，文中描述的是几乎完全错过了日落，之后安置拍摄设备的时间就非常有限了，也就是说他们比预想的到达得晚。故C项正确。 27．答案：B
解析：根据第四段中的\"Still, looking back on the photos...if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely\"可知,虽然有准备不充分和时间管理不明智等方面的遗憾，作者依然认为这是一些自己拍的最好的照片。故B 项正确。 28．答案：A

解析：理解段落主旨要义题干问的是首段的主旨。根据文章首段可知，如果你想讲述不偏袒人类历史上任何一方的一段世界历史，你就不能仅依靠文字。文字是人类的后期成果之一，直到最近甚至许多有文字的社会不仅用文字，还用实物来记载他们的重要的事情。所以此段是说过去的历史事件应结合文字和实物来呈现，不能仅靠文字，故A项正确。 33．答案：D
解析：推断题干问的是作者提及库克船长的用意。根据第二段首句\"Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects...but in many cases we simply can't\"(理想的情况是我们在研究历史时应该将文字和实物结合起来……而很多情况下我们没能这样做)以及该段最后一句\"If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports\" (如果我们想要还原那天到底发生了什么，这块盾牌必须和文字记述一样经过深入而严格的质询和诠释）可知，库克船长的记录是片面的，故D项正确。 34．答案：B
解析：理解词汇题干问的是画线词conversation在文中的意思。根据第三段中的\"a history told through things gives them back a voice\"(实物能还原历史事实)和\"all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects\"(我们所有的第一手描述无法避免地会被歪曲，它只是对话的一半。如果我们想找到另一半，就必不能只解读文字，还要解读实物)可知，conversation指的是历史，故B 项正确。

②上文说在英国许多这样的物种不适宜在室外生长，特别是在冬季，和D项“相反，它们在室内更温暖的地方长势更好”构成转折关系，符合语境。故填D。 ③根据本段小标题和本段内容可知，该段主要讲述了室内种植绿植有许多好处，此处引用别人的话也应呼应这一主题。故填C。
④空格位于段尾，与上文存在例证关系，上文说盆栽可以通过消除二氧化碳等有害气体来净化周围的空气，还可以消去一些来自油漆或烹饪的有害化学物质。E项中的和平百合和绿萝正是效果最好的植物。
⑤空后It指代该空内容，说明这样做可以给人们的生活带来新的兴趣和焦点并帮助人们增强家与自然的联系。故G项“了解每种植物的习性会很有益处”符合语境。 37．答案：D
解析：根据上文的\"To become the Olympic champion\"可知,Gabby Douglas 不得不离开她最熟悉（knew）的一切。try\"尝试\"；think\"认为\"；judge\"判断\"。 38．答案：B
解析：根据上文提到的Gabby Douglas要离开最熟悉的一切可知，她不得不收拾(pack up)她的卧室。take up\"着手处理\"；pack up\"打包行李，收拾行装\"；clean up\"收拾干净\"；do up\"修缮，装饰（房屋等）\"。 39．答案：A
