Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop.
After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school. After graduating from high school, he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes.
Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt, at the Experimental Therapy Institute. He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine (消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗) in1913.
Levaditi returned to Romania in 1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals. Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920. That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused.
In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.
4. What do the first two paragraphs tell us about Levaditi

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop. 当他只有六岁的时候,他就开始在一家商店工作了,因为他的父母都生病了。他的工作是给他叔叔的商店送货。根据第二段After two years his parents died 两年后,他的父母去世了。所以前两段告诉了我们莱瓦迪蒂在很小的时候就没有了父母。故选C项。
5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. ...Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920.可知,他批评了罗马尼亚的国家医疗系统和政党说政府不关心人民,没有足够的医生和医院,这是不能接受的。这导致了Constantin Levaditi 1920年回到法国继续他的研究。由此判断出,莱瓦迪提于1920年返回法国的一个原因是他对罗马尼亚卫生系统的不满意。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris 可知,莱瓦迪蒂在1902年成为一名医生,之后他在巴黎专门研究肺结核。根据最后一段 In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.可知,1926年,莱瓦迪蒂成为罗马尼亚科学院的成员。后来,他负责法国细菌学学校,并将他的最后几年致力于抗生素和其他药物的研究。 所以A选项是四个选项中最先发生的事情。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知 ,短文从第一段Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874.康斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂于1874年出生在罗马尼亚的加拉蒂。至最后一段In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.1926年,莱瓦迪蒂成为罗马尼亚科学院的成员。后来,他负责法国细菌学学校,并将他的最后几年致力于抗生素和其他药物的研究。以时间为线索介绍了康斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂生活,学业,以及在医学上的发展。所以短文主要是关于斯坦丁·莱瓦迪蒂的简介。故选B项。
C
I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear I’d have to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarded with good grades. My only failure was Spanish—I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.
Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and determined to change my outlook and behavior. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsky, Albinoni, and Chopin.
I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” terrified me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonies(交响乐)and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording session(录音时段)with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people.
Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel discomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed.
8. What do we learn about the author
A. She didn’t like reading. B. She didn’t work hard enough.
C. She wasn’t interested in music. D. She wasn’t good at speaking Spanish.
9. How did the author feel before the interview
A. Very excited. B. Pretty confident.
C. Highly confused. D. Extremely nervous.
10. What does the author later think of her quiet personality
A. It makes others feel less comfortable. B. It is beneficial for her challenging job.
C. It prevents her being a newspaper reporter. D. It draws a negative response from audiences.
11. The text mainly focuses on the author’s ________.
A. desire to find her true self B. feeling about being a radio hostess
C. story of exploring the meaning of life D. experience and feeling of overcoming shyness
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了自己从小害羞不善表达,大学期间由于面试了一份与人交流的工作,从而性格有所改变,克服了害羞。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段My only failure was Spanish-I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.可知,作者的西班牙语笔试成绩很好,口语部分很差,她不善表达。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” terrified me.可知,在面试前,作者想到和成千上万的听众交谈就感到非常紧张害怕。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel discomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters.可知,作者认为以前的羞怯是一种财富,可以和那些在与记者交谈时感到不舒服的人联系起来。所以这对作者从事这份挑战性的工作是有益的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章作者讲述了自己从小害羞不善表达,大学期间由于面试了一份工作不得不和人交流,从而性格有所改变,克服了害羞。所以本文作者讲述的是克服害羞的经验和感受,故选D。
D
Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions (情感). But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.
To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设): What if people’ physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors For example, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert
The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey (调查) of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame.
The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors — including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall — lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).
Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in cold Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people’s yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%.
The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season — whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round — even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.
12. What did the researchers do before the survey
A. They went to Finland. B. They studied certain colors.
C. They made a hypothesis. D. They analyzed some data.
13. Which of the following affects people’s feelings about yellow
A. The changeable seasons B. The geographic position.
C. The length of daytime. D. The amount of snowfall.
14. How did the researchers carry out the survey
A. By interviewing the participants B. By looking at color combinations.
C. By travelling around the world. D. By studying the data collected.
15. What can be the best title of the text
A. Yellow: Associated with Joy Conditionally.
B. Finland: A Country Admiring Yellow.
C. Color: An Important Role in Good Feelings.
D. Color-emotion Data: Collected Internationally.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现黄色是一种快乐的颜色。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设): What if people’ physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors (为了找出哪些因素可能起作用,研究人员测试了一个新的假设:如果人们的身体环境影响了他们对某些颜色的感受,该怎么办?)”可知,研究人员在开始调查之前先进行了一种新的假设,故选择C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).( 人们对黄色感觉的两个最好的预测因素是年降雨量和他们离赤道有多远。)”可知,地理位置会影响到人们对于黄色的感觉,故选择B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors — including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall — lined up with the emotions people reported for the color.( 研究人员特别关注黄色的数据,并分析了不同的因素——包括日照时间、日照时间和降雨量——如何与人们对黄色的情绪相一致。)”以及第五段中的“In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in cold Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people’s yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%.(在埃及,黄色与快乐联系在一起的可能性只有5.7%,而在寒冷的芬兰,这一比例为87.7%。在气候温和、谷穗呈琥珀色的美国,人们的黄色快乐联系水平在60%到70%之间。)”可知,研究人员主要是通过研究收集的数据进行调查的,故选择D项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions (情感). But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.( 黄色通常是快乐情绪的颜色. 但根据一项新的研究,并不是所有的人都把阳光与美好的感情联系在一起。)”可知,本文主要介绍了黄色在一定条件下与快乐有联系,故选择A项。

Our understanding is constantly grow and changing. They need to thank the great men of the past for their wise. They were understood that we don’t know everything.

【详解】1.考查不可数名词。句意:我们如何获得知识和理解?knowledge意为“知识”,为不可数名词,没有复数形式。故将knowledges改为knowledge。
2.考查介词。句意:首先,我们需要问题。to start with意为“首先”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用介词with。故在start后加with。
3.考查动词不定式。句意:然后,为了找到答案,我们观察世界,研究事实。此处是用to do不定式作目的状语,应用to do不定式的一般式。故将found改为find。

Constantin Levaditi was born in Galati, Romania in 1874. His family was poor and his father was a Greek immigrant who worked in the Galati port and his mother was Romanian. When he was only six years old he had to start working in a shop as both of his parents fell ill. His job was to deliver orders from his uncle’s shop.
After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital. His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school. After graduating from high school he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes.
Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis (结核病) in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt, at the Experimental Therapy Institute. He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine (消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗) in1913.
Levaditi returned to Romania in 1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania’s national health system and its political parties. He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals. Thus, he returned to France to continue his research in 1920. That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused.
In 1926 Levaditi became a member of the Romanian Academy. Later on, he was in charge of the bacteriology (细菌学) French school and he devoted his last years to research on antibiotics (抗生素) and other medicines.

I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear I’d have to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarded with good grades. My only failure was Spanish—I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.
Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and determined to change my outlook and behavior. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsky, Albinoni, and Chopin.
I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” terrified me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonies(交响乐)and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording session(录音时段)with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people.
Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel discomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed.
8. What do we learn about the author
A. She didn’t like reading. B. She didn’t work hard enough.
C. She wasn’t interested in music. D. She wasn’t good at speaking Spanish.
9. How did the author feel before the interview
A. Very excited. B. Pretty confident.
C. Highly confused. D. Extremely nervous.
10. What does the author later think of her quiet personality
A. It makes others feel less comfortable. B. It is beneficial for her challenging job.
C. It prevents her being a newspaper reporter. D. It draws a negative response from audiences.
11. The text mainly focuses on the author’s ________.
A. desire to find her true self B. feeling about being a radio hostess
C. story of exploring the meaning of life D. experience and feeling of overcoming shyness
D
Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions (情感). But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.
To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设): What if people’ physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors For example, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert
The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey (调查) of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame.
The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors — including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall — lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).
Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in cold Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people’s yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%.
The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season — whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round — even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.
12. What did the researchers do before the survey
A. They went to Finland. B. They studied certain colors.
C. They made a hypothesis. D. They analyzed some data.
13. Which of the following affects people’s feelings about yellow
A. The changeable seasons B. The geographic position.
C. The length of daytime. D. The amount of snowfall.
14. How did the researchers carry out the survey
A. By interviewing the participants B. By looking at color combinations.
C. By travelling around the world. D. By studying the data collected.
15. What can be the best title of the text
A Yellow: Associated with Joy Conditionally.
B Finland: A Country Admiring Yellow.
C. Color: An Important Role in Good Feelings.
D. Color-emotion Data: Collected Internationally.
