24、Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.

Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”

In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria (疟疾), Tu Youyou, pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”

Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize (变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”

Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.

One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.

【1】What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common?

A．They spent all their lives serving people.

B．They achieved a lot in the medical field.

C．They are remembered for their happiness.

D．They succeeded in solving world problems.

【2】The underlined phrase deformed his fingers could be replaced by ________.

A．made him feel down

B．got his fingers cut off

C．gave him too much pressure

D．changed the shape of his fingers

【3】It is clear that ________.

A．Pablo Picasso became famous after his death

B．Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life

C．it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal

D．Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb

【4】When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ________.

A．felt too tired to stay awake

B．didn’t plan to study all medicine

C．didn’t fully realize its importance

D．knew exactly what his success meant

【5】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A．Great hopes make great men.

B．Great achievements aren’t made naturally.

C．Not everyone can be successful.

D．The more difficulties, the better.

25、When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “high up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they can’t get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this can’t be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work.” The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.

【1】When a consumer finds that his or her item has fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to ________.

A．complain personally to the manager

B．threaten to take the matter to court

C．write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

D．show some written proof of the purchase to the store

【2】How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?

A．Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.

B．Threaten to take the seller to court.

C．Make polite and general statements about the problem.

D．Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?

A．Complain to the store manager in person.

B．Complain to the manufacturer.

C．Write a complaint letter to the manager.

D．Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.

【4】The phrase“live up to”in this context means:

A．meet the standard of

B．realize the purpose of

D．keep the promise of

【5】The passage tells us ________.

A．how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty item

26、   In human history, there have been many fights against epidemics (流行病) and plagues (瘟疫). Some of these diseases stood out, as they were very serious and changed the development of human history. Here are three of them.

430-427 BC Plague of Athens 雅典大瘟疫

During the second year of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), when an Athenian victory seemed within reach, a great plague hit Athens. According to The Atlantic, the plague killed about 300,000 people. This means it caused the death of one in every three people in ancient Athens. Modern historians think it helped cause the decline (衰落) and fall of classical (古典的) Greece.

14th century Black Death 黑死病

It's widely believed that the Black Death originated (源自) in central Asia and was carried by fleas (跳蚤) living on rats. Infected (被感染的) people's skin would turn black in places. According to The Washington Post, it killed about 25 million Europeans. Due to this disease, there were not enough farmers in Europe, which led to an end to serfdom (农奴制). It took about 200 years for Europe's population to recover (恢复) to its previous level.

1918-1919   1918 Influenza Pandemic 西班牙流感

This flu is also known as the “Spanish flu”. Spain had serious outbreaks, with nearly eight million people affected just in May 1918.

This flu affected the whole world. According to The Conversation, it caused about 50 million deaths worldwide, far more than the deaths caused by World War I (1914-1918). The outbreak completely disrupted (扰乱) societies around the world. In many countries, governments closed theaters and dance halls for more than a year.

27、   Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. loneliness.

【2】What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends.

C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.

【3】What can be learned from the passage?

A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.

B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.

C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.

D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
