Her contribution to mathematics was in both algebra (代數(shù)) and differential and integral calculus (微積分學(xué)).Mary was one of the worlds first famous female mathematicians. She became interested in mathematics and decided to study it at the time when it was considered unacceptable for a woman to do so. She bought books on algebra and geometry and read them at night. In spite of disapproval from people around her, she firmly went on with her struggle to learn. She won a prize for her solution to an algebra problem. She went on to write several books on mathematics. Later in her life, she thought deeply about the years in which she had persevered (堅(jiān)持) almost without hope and said, “It taught me never to lose heart.”Marys way of learning remains useful today. If she worked for a while on a problem without coming up with an idea, she stopped working and turned her attention to the piano, her needlework, or a walk outdoors. She then returned to the problem with a fresh mind and a solution turned up. If she could not understand a passage while reading, she would forget about it and read on; several pages later, the meaning of the puzzling passage would become clear to her.1Why did Mary decide to study math?ABecause she found math interesting and wanted to study it.BBecause she was one of the worlds first famous female mathematicians.CBecause it was not considered acceptable for a woman to study math.DBecause she was bored and had nothing to do.2What does the underlined word “disapproval” in Paragraph 2 mean in this text?ADisagreement.

Agive us information about the services of the hotel Bpersuade us to stay in the hotelCtell us the ways of servingDpromise us good serviceCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. While the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(隨機(jī)地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.8Which best describes the writers point in Para.1?AIntelligence is given at birth.BIntelligence is developed by the environment.CIntelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.DSome people are born clever and others born stupid.9It is suggested in this passage that _.Aclose relations usually have similar intelligenceBunrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligenceCthe closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceDpeople who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence10The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.Athe importance of their intelligenceBthe effect of environment on intelligenceCthe importance of their positionsDthe part that birth plays11The best title for this article would be “_”.AOn IntelligenceBWhat Intelligence MeansCBorn with IntelligenceDEnvironment Decides IntelligenceD It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.She didnt share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (膽固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internetand they have very real bad consequences.False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect (反安慰劑效應(yīng)) ”. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干預(yù)) simply because they believe they willthats the placebo effect (安慰劑效應(yīng)) . The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformationmany of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, theyre actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (變異) .Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.12We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.Athe woman paid little attention to her daily dietsBthe unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the womans heart attackCthe symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the womanDthe woman didnt take the prescription due to fake medical news13According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients _.Aneglect necessary treatmentBdiscontinue the harmful drugsCbelieve the benefits of an interventionDsuffer more side effects14What does the author mean by claiming that “he is not a free-speech lawyer” in the last paragraph?AHe is a lawyer very easy to speak to.BHe is good at speaking because of his job.CHe is available to give a speech on the law.DHe is very cautious when speaking something15The main purpose of the passage is to _.Aremind us to take medication as prescribedBwarn us against fake medical news on the InternetCencourage journalists to report more positive news eventsDteach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet第二節(jié)（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。In a house with more than one kid, there are bound to be some problems.
