1．China's long history has seen many scientists making great contributions to the development of ancient China and even the world.We have selected several greatest scientists in ancient China and hope to help you learn more about Chinese science and technology.
Zhang Zhongjing （150-219）was a Chinese physician in Han Dynasty （206 BC-220 AD）.He founded medication principles and summarized the medicinal experience before his time.His famous work "Shang Han Za Bing Lun" had a major influence on the practice of traditional Chinese medicine.Today，this great book was still considered very important in the practice of Chinese medicine.
Li Daoyuan （AD 427 or 469-527）was a great Chinese geographer during the Northern Wei Dynasty （386-534）.He wrote the famous work "Commentary to the River Classic"（Shui Jing Zhu）.The book is a great work on the ancient geography of China and it sums up China's geography and its surrounding areas before Northern Wei Dynasty.

2．"The mosquitofish is one of the 100 world's worst invasive （侵入的）species，and present methods to kill it are too expensive.It will take too much time to successfully control the spread of the mosquitofish，" says Giovanni Polverino. "This global pest is a serious threat to many animals living in water.Instead of killing them one by one，we're presenting an approach that can inform better strategies to control this global pest.We made their worst nightmare become real：a robot that scares the mosquitofish but not the other animals around it."
In the presence of the robotic fish，mosquitofish would stay closer to each other and spend more time at the center of the testing area.They were unwilling to swim to unknown waters.They also swam more crazily，with frequent and sharp turns，than those who haven't met the robot.They swam away from the robot and back to their living area.The influence of fear lasted.The scared fish were less active，ate more，and froze longer，presenting signs of anxiety that continued weeks after their last encounter （相遇）with the robot.
For the tadpoles （蝌蚪）the mosquitofish usually hunt for food，the robot's presence was a change for the better.Tadpoles have poor eyesight.They don't see the robot well.Because the robot changed the behavior of the mosquitofish，the tadpoles didn't have predators （捕食者）at their tails anymore and they were more willing to explore in the testing area. "It turned out to be a positive thing for tadpoles.Once freed from the danger of having mosquitofish around，they were not scared anymore.They're happy. "
After five weeks of brief encounters between the mosquitofish and the robot，the team found that the fish spent more energy towards escaping than reproducing.Male fish's bodies became thin.
"While successful at preventing mosquitofish，the lab-grown robotic fish is not ready to be put into the wild，" says Maurizio Porfiri.The team will still have to overcome technical challenges.
（1）What do we know about mosquitofish？
A．It is the most dangerous species.
B．It costs too much money to feed.
C．It is difficult to be seen by people.
D．It is harmful to many animals in water.
（2）What's the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The mosquitofish's living area.
B．The uses of the mosquitofish.
C．The mosquitofish's reaction to the robotic fish.
D．The encounter between mosquitofish and tadpoles.
（3）What's the benefit of the robotic fish's presence for the tadpoles？
A．They had better behavior.
B．They had no more killers.
C．They were more adventurous.
D．They could see the robot clearly.
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？
A．Robots Use Fear To Fight Invasive Fish
B．Mosquitofish Are The Most Dangerous Animals
C．Invasive Fish Are Spreading All Over The World
D．Robots Fish Are Hunting And Killing Mosquitofish組卷：2引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Recently，the magazine Big Think asked top minds from a variety of fields to comment on what the future holds 40 years from now.The result is as follows.
It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban （城市的） areas，and will have a much higher average age than people today.Cities theorist Richard Florida thinks urbanization will reinvent the education system of the United States，making our economy less real estate （房地產(chǎn)） driven and erasing（消除） the divisions between home and work.
And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly.Cities of the future won't look like "some sort of science-fiction fantasy"，but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays （VR and AR） will greatly change how we live.Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports.A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks - may make long-distance drivers out of date.
Some long view predictions are completely dire.Environmentalist Bill McKibben says that if we don't make great progress in fighting global warming，it's likely we could see out-of-control rises in sea levels，huge crop shortfalls，and wars over limited freshwater resources.
In terms of how we will eat，green markets founder and "real food" supporter Nina Planck believes that there will be more small milk processing plants，and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result.New York Times feature writer Mark Bittman thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods，and eat foods grown closer to where they live.And Anson Mills farmer Glenn Roberts thinks that more people will be aware of the "ethical（道德的） responsibility" to grow and preserve land-raised farm systems.
（1）What may happen by 2050？
A．Most people will live in cities.
B．The aging population will drop.
C．Home education will become a trend.
D．The economy will be driven by real estate.
（2）What do we know about technology in the future？
A．It will give cities a science-fiction appearance.
B．It will greatly change the way people live.
C．It will lead to an increase in the number of cars.
D．It will ensure faster transports with fast cars.
（3）What does the underlined word "dire" in the fourth paragraph mean？
A．Interesting.
B．Daring.
C．Terrible.
D．Creative.
（4）What does Mark Bittman think of foods in the future？
A．People will eat healthier and fresher foods.
B．Land-raised farm systems will be improved.
C．There will be more regional food operations.
D．Food supplies will become more limited than before.組卷：2引用：4難度：0.5 -
4．第二節(jié)：共5小題，每小題2.5，共12.5分。
閱讀下列短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
What is the nature of the scientific attitude，the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics，biology，chemistry，geology，engineering，medicine or any other science？We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. （1）
The first of these is the application of the machines，products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.Through technology，science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.
The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting？
（2）—he wants to find out how and why the universe works.He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation，and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected.
Moreover，he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer，accurate，patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. （3）For example，trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.He is skeptical—he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available—and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. （4）
Lastly，he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. （5）
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.
A.First of all，it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity
B.To begin with，he is not only critical of the work of others，but also of his own
C.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.
D.Furthermore，he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.
E.He knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
F.He uses the facts he observes to the fullest extent.
G.Many people believe，however，that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5
