B The lift-off of any NASA space shuttle is always a huge event, but on July 23, 1999, it was particularly emotional for a group of women whose nickname was the “Mercury 13”. On that day, Eileen Collins became the first woman to command a space shuttle ever. Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream is a photo essay book that tells the story of thirteen female pilots, known as the “Mercury 13”, who attempted to join NASA’s astronaut program in the 1960s, when there was an unspoken rule in America: you had to be a man if you wanted to be an astronaut. They participated in the Women in Space program, in which they not only completed the tests but also surpassed the results of male astronauts. However, their ambition, courage, and achievements were ignored by NASA and other government figures, involving Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was in favor of prohibiting women from being astronauts. Of course, those 13 women never made it to space, but they continued to push for female pilots to be admitted to the space program. Because of their courageous struggle, later generations succeeded. Younger female readers will enjoy reading these stories about women who overcame criticism, prejudice and injustice and dared to achieve more than the roles society wished them to play. Not only are these women excellent role models for our girls, they are also a good reminder of how hard women once fought for us, so we can enjoy the relative equality today. I would recommend this book to any young woman, especially one in high school who is ready to take on the world on her own, one who may be questioning where she will take her life and definitely one who may be dreaming bigger than most people think is appropriate. 24. Why didn’t the 13 women make it into space in the 1960s? A. They didn’t meet the skill standard. B. They lacked related experience. C. They were blocked by prejudice. D. They disobeyed the rules of NASA. 25. Which of the following best describes “Mercury 13”? A. Ambitious and determined. B. Creative and imaginative. C. Cautious and modest. D. Generous and helpful. 26. What can we learn from the 13 women’s story? A. Helping others is helping yourself. B. Sticking to dreams makes a difference. C. Education plays a significant role. D. Love breaks down barriers. 27. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To inform the public of an event. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To argue over a social issue. D. To recommend a book. C The pandemic-caused lockdown (封锁) threw up many trends, but one that shows no sign of dwindling (减少) is “cottagecore”. So, what is cottagecore all about? Cottagecore is a social media trend seen as a romanticized explanation of countryside living, where cottage-dwellers can make homemade jam and live off the land. Naomi Stuart, who documents her countryside dream on her cottagecore Instagram page, says, “Since lockdown, the trend has become far more popular with people who look for rural properties when they work from home. Gorgeous images on social media of living in the countryside have sold the dream that life out in the sticks is less stressful. And it is. I share my cottage life as I hope it will give people a little insight into what living in a small village surrounded by the countryside is like. Peace and quiet, the sounds of nature, no road noise, cows and sheep in the nearby fields, horse riders and dog walkers going by. For me, it is the perfect de-stress cure for everyday stresses and strains that we all have.” With COVID-19 grounding most of the world, “home” has taken on a new meaning. And as we make sense of our new normal, the focus is being placed firmly on living a simple and slower life. Cottagecore is a concept that anyone can embrace. Look at decorating your home in a traditional, old-fashioned style and take up skills such as drying flowers, spending time growing vegetables and enjoying time in the evening by candlelight with loved ones. The interpretation of cottagecore spans a variety of ideas, from slow fashion to home decor (装饰), home cooked meals, and gardening. 28. What do the underlined words “in the sticks” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. In the forests. B. In the country areas. C. In the unfurnished houses. D. In the abandoned buildings. 29. What can we learn about cottagecore from the text? A. It tends to decline during the lockdown. B. It is a way to keep away from COVID-19. C. It shows the good of living in the countryside. D. It is interpreted as an old-fashioned way of life. 30. What’s the author’s attitude to cottagecore? A. Supportive. B. Skeptical. C. Opposed. D. Unconcerned. 31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A. Cottagecore—a trend of a peaceful life B. Cottagecore—a way to deal with Covid-19 C. Cottagecore—a new lifestyle hard to adopt D. Cottagecore—a necessary experience for the young D A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts. Researchers said they hoped this could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women all over the world, with more than 2 million new diagnoses last year alone. Whether breast cancer is severe is closely related to the time of diagnosis. Therefore, the regular examination is vital in detecting the earliest signs of the disease in patients who show no obvious symptoms. In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram (乳房X光检查) every three years, the results of which are interpreted by two independent experts in order to reduce errors in diagnosis. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive－misdiagnosing a healthy patient as having cancer or false negative－missing the disease as it spreads. Now researchers at Google Health have trained an artificial intelligence model to detect cancer in breast scans from thousands of women in Britain and the United States. The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life but unlike in a clinical setting, the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnoses. The team found that their AI model could predict breast cancer from the scans with a similar accuracy level to expert radiographers, who are trained to take X-rays. Further, the AI showed a reduction in the percentage of cases where cancer was incorrectly identified－5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain, respectively. It also reduced the percentage of missed diagnoses by 9.4 percent among US patients and by 2.7 percent in Britain. “The earlier you identify a breast cancer, the better it is for the patient.” Dominic King, UK leading scientist at Google Health, told AFP. “We think about this technology in a way that supports and enables an expert, or a patient ultimately, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnostics (诊断法) they’ve had.” 32. What do we learn about breast cancer? A. It has become the top killer of all cancers. B. It is typical for two doctors to analyze the scans together. C. The program has succeeded in the fight against breast cancer. D. Its seriousness is strongly connected with the time of its diagnosis. 33. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the artificial intelligence model? A. A lower percentage of missed diagnoses. B. A smaller percentage of mistakenly identified cases. C. No errors in mammograms being returned in a false result. D. No requirement for patient history to inform its diagnoses. 34. What can be inferred from Dominic King’s words? A. The AI model has no delay in the detection of breast cancer. B. The AI model can be of great help in diagnosing breast cancer. C. The technology will equip patients with more expert knowledge. D. Breast cancers can be definitely cured if identified early enough. 35. Which is the main idea of the text? A. A cure for breast cancer has been confirmed. B. A breakthrough in AI technology has been made. C. Researchers trained an AI model to help detect breast cancer. D. A computer program avoids errors in identifying breast cancer. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Public speaking undoes the best of us.

Monarch butterflies use the sun to 41 their body clocks and make their journeys, according to US scientists. No other butterfly in the world migrates like orange and black monarchs of North America. Each autumn, thousands travel up to 3,300 km to spend winter in the mountains of Mexico. There are so many that they almost 42 the sky. And you can hear their wings 43 . It usually takes the butterflies two 44 to reach Mexico. After five months of stay, they head back up north in the spring. But not one butterfly 45 the whole round trip. They lay eggs along the way and die. Three 46 of butterflies will live and die during the spring journey alone. The fourth and final offspring (后代) of the year is born in early autumn and will reach the 47 . But it hardly gets to rest before starting the 48 journey south to Mexico. Past studies have shown the insects use the 49 as a compass to show them the way. But experts were unsure how the butterflies change their 50 as the sun moves in the sky. This new study now shows the insects use a
